magnus sandberg's curator insight, March 16, 2015 4:28 AM

It makes me sad to hear how teachers forbid students to using Wikipedia as a source in their projects, and how students often talk about is as a cheat resource. With its transparency in showing how the articles has developed, who has paticipated in writing them, and the access to earlier versions, it is probably the most trustworthy source on the internet and the best example of how we should relate to factual knowledge in our age. I just love it.
