Lansing State Journal: Wikipedia world: Online reference site blurs fact/fiction line
I guess it's hard for people who work for a newspaper to understand something like Wikipedia.
(They should have noted how long it took for the extra crap the students added to be removed and also that you can look at all the different versions of the article and discussion about changes - something you can't do with a traditional encyclopedia).
"-something you can't do with a traditional encyclopedia." Not to mention the Lansing State Journal. :-) Any "real" American will tell you that he's far too busy to deal with anything other than definitives. Wikipedia conflicts with that mind-set. LSJ doesn't. Therefore, to a "real" American, LSJ is Good, Wikipedia is Bad.
