 Wikipedia Not Liable For Its Content
Wikipedia Not Liable For Its Content
Finally a common sense ruling from a court. 3 men tried to sue Wikipedia when someone had written that they were gay activists. Wikipedia's argument was that as soon as they were made aware of the error it was removed and that they can not be held liable for the actions of others. picked by bernardblack 3 months ago

Beyond Wikipedia: 20 References You Can’t Do Without
You may not know this, but there are actually a number of great references available to you that aren’t Wikipedia. Now, don’t get me wrong - I love Wikipedia, too. Whenever I first begin a project I almost always go and overview it through Wikipedia.
