Is anyone else amused by the irony of this article being hidden behind a
subscription paywall? Anyone? Hello??

(I was able to get full text via Ebsco--so it *is* available through
other sources--but that took the sort of digging that the casual
Wikipedia user is unlikely to do.)

An excellent (though very critical) short article about Wikipedia
appears in the "Inside Risks" column in this month's CACM.
