Colleagues,

You probably saw Kit Seelye's smart Week-in-Review story about inaccurate information in
Wikipedia. In case you didn't, please take a look. Since the story ran, she has received a number
of e-mail messages about other inaccurate information on Wikipedia. We shouldn't be using it to
check any information that goes into the newspaper.
