There was a story on the national news about the Wikipedia Dictionary. It's not a "real" dictionary in that anyone can go in and change or add something. Many colleges and universities have banned it's use as a source of information for research.

FYI!

yep that's true but it has a high page ranking so it gets quoted a lot. i cringe when i see people link to it as a source of reputable information
