I'm sorry for my part in the flame war, too. And I really appreciate that you took the effort to work this out.

Thank you. And again, it's very gracious of you to say this. You were owed an apology, so the effort only cost me some stupid pride. The benefit has been getting my peace of mind back.

Jimmy Wales Says Students 'Should Use' Wikipedia 345

Posted by Zonk on Saturday December 08, 2007 @02:41AM from the taking-himself-too-seriously dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC has up an article chatting with Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales. Wales views the Wikipedia site as an educational resource, and apparently thinks teachers who downplay the site are 'bad educators'. '[A] perceived lack of authority ... has drawn criticism from other information sources. Ian Allgar of Encyclopedia Britannica maintains that, with 239 years of history and rigorous fact-checking procedures, Britannica should remain a leader in authoritative, politically-neutral information. Mr Allgar pointed out the trustworthy nature of paid-for, thoroughly-reviewed content, and noted that Wikipedia is still prone to vandalism.'"
