INSIDE COLUMN QUESTION OF THE DAY: ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO JPW WEEKEND? WHY OR WHY NOT? Wovved by Wikipedia
The online encyclopedia Wikipedia has come under fire recently for false state ments in articles on many topics, some of the most outrageous accusations being Elizabeth Wagner Eric Beurgler Frankie Bontempo Ill Larissa Zavala Maurice Crum Steve Zakas leveled against targets ranging from sophomore senior junior junior sophomore junior Tony Blair to Ernest Lewis off-campus Siegfried off-campus Siegfried off campus Hemingway.

The idea is, you don't need a degree to share information you have just a keyboard. You can add to or edit existing articles, or create a new one for a topic that is not yet listed.
