In short, our message is reaching our audience. Critical comments inserted in Wikipedia have been picked up as the theme of media reports in local, regional and national markets. K-12 teachers have been especially willing to speak out about their skepticism. In 2004 we saw numerous editorials appear in print and on-line questioning the reliability of the document. Trial errors planted in several articles (some of you know which ones) remain uncorrected. Juvenile sophistry remains a persistent tone throughout, with the exception of mundane articles about geographic places, and those stubbed from 100-year-old encyclopedias. Overall, our efforts have promoted more informed consumption of the Wikipedia product.
