News Librarians weigh in on Wikipedia

j points to an article in today's New York Times regarding Wikipedia and the incorrect information that was posted in the online encyclopedia's entry on John Seigenthaler Sr. A healthy debate ensued on NewsLib, the listserv for members of the News Division of the Special Libraries Association and the article includes many quoted comments from my fellow news librarians. j also posted about the article on NewsliBlog, another product of the division, of which yours truly is a sometime contributor.
