Anti-Intellectualism at its best.

I once saw a professor visiting a Wikipedia article on maths found from a 
Google search, but he abandoned it just after a few seconds. Another 
professor has advised us never to cite material not hosted on .edu or .ac.uk 
or other educational domains.

If Wikipedia does not change its attitudes, it will eventually die from brain 
drain: New, more expertise-friendly and intellectual wikis will emerge and 
WP's knowledgeable users will just immigrate there.
