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. | In short, our message is reaching our audience.

Cell 9 has been particularly effective at inciting among contributors selected for covert counseling a recognition of unqualified authority when their well-intentioned efforts were obviously under attack by Wikipendia core group of sophomoric administrators. Their message that authoritarian behavior does not translate to authoritative information has been well received. Their operatives have developed systematic techniques for encouraging reaction with only a whisper of incitement. | Cell 9 has been particularly effective at inciting among contributors selected for covert counseling a recognition of unqualified authority when their well-intentioned efforts were obviously under attack by Wikipendia's core group of sophomoric administrators.
