How reliable could wikipedia be?


In reading the authors' description of wikipedia I was reminded of my concern that the information on wikipedia is only as reliable as the latest posting. I was thinking of the scenario of me posting photos of birds and identifying something incorrectly, and having someone use that information thinking it was true. It seems that there is a community that monitors most areas. The book on page 73 describes this problem satisfactorily. However, it is up to the user to realize that any entry in wikipedia is not guaranteed to be correct.

I am trying my first post here. Tomorrow I leave for Greece and will be reading Wikinomics on the plane so I don't have anything to say yet. The little bit I have read has not generated any insights yet.
I did enjoy the link to the online "What is a blog" website. It looks like great information is available there.
