Well put. I would imagine most students don't realize that fact and even from print list references without reading them.

In fact, even in scientific literature, there are many scientists who read a paper and think "Oh my, this person is an idiot" and then writes their own paper to refute. I've read some very interesting papers where one scientist takes a subtle (sometimes not so subtle) jab. :)

That's why, I like to see who has referenced stuff I've published, just to see if they are agreeing/disagreeing. :)

Wikipedia is *one* source, and articles *are* referenced, so, like any other source, the student can check the references. Any referenced work must cite more than a single source, and the student must discuss/reconcile differences in data from different sources. It's erroneous to assume that these other "verified sources" always contain completely reliable and truthful information. In the end, Wikipedia is no different than any other source, printed or otherwise.

ROFL! I didn't verify this, but if it's true, it's just so funny.
