Nevertheless, I still consider Wikipedia useful. I don't know much about UK educational system, but if what you say is true, the idea really sounds ridiculous. As I said above, the wiki is <em>useful</em>, but it is by no means reliable or completely accurate.

I found your blog an hour ago and I just can't seem to get off it,very entertaining! You may or may not know , Mr Tony Blair , former dictator of the UK, forcibly advised , that all students should use wilk as the main reference for any reseach they needed doing ,homework , what have you . And then proceeded to dismantle the library system in the UK( removing up to 90% of the books on shelves) .Consequently , libraries now only have books a couple of years old on their shelves! For example , I recently went to the lib to get some books, for a history of the Roman Empire , and found only 2 adult books , 2 tourist guides and 2 childrens books , the assistant directed me to one of the many pc's on show , I could have done that at home! Look on wilk , what for, hardly articles by some persons life work ! Oh yes , I studied History at uni so that I could write 3 articles for wilk ! Now what shall I do with the rest of my life! V.M.
