Re: Deming on Wikipedia



I feel I need to correct this statement about Wikipedia....it is most
definitely NOT peer-reviewed, and as such, college instructors, like
myself, tell our students to not use Wikipedia. Literally anyone can post
an article, bio, or definition on Wikipedia. It has about as many authors
as it does entries. It becomes self-correcting, or peer-reviewed only
after readers detect an error, or worse, a bias or hidden agenda.
Open-commnity, convenient - yes; peer-reviewd, no.
