The Guardian Online really, really loves Wikipedia because the
managing editor of the online edition really, really loves Wikipedia
(so I was told at a job interview there a few months ago, when the
interviewer noticed "Wikipedia" in my interests ;-).

That said, I find it hard to consider the above unfair. It's the
real-world acid test and mostly rings true to me.
