Anyone can edit wikipedia... so you know it has to be true...

Which wiki did you edit?

I like the wiki concept for the ability to edit for clarification and expansion articles in the said wiki. It is a great way to come to a collaborative understanding of materials, and is especially useful when trying to find quick information.

Wikis would be great for troubleshooting technology problems, readers advisory, and guides to local areas.

I, in general, agree with teachers and faculty banning the use of wikipedia for student research. Students shouldn't be using encyclopedias for serious research, why should an online encyclopedia be any different. I went to college pre-wikipedia and I didn't use encyclopedias. Limiting information by format is fine depending on the research being conducted.

I edited the 23 things wiki on cats and favorite books.
