After playing around with wikis I have to admit it isn't the techy part of wikis that is hard, it's putting faith in them as a reference source. If you have always relied on an authoritative organization the give credence to an article, it's hard not to be leary of articles that can be altered, or written entirely, by someone without obvious credentials. I have read journal studies that say the users of wikipedia tend to be older and more educated than nonusers. There is a local teacher who tells her middle-schoolers to use it for research. I really do understand how something like Wikipedia could be accurate, maybe even more accurate than conventional sources, because those people who do know and care about and have interest in the subject are on top of the entries, and the speed of correction is much improved over older ways. It will just take a while to emotionally accept it.
