Wikipedia news

On August 2, 2006, I was quoted in a Detroit Free Press story about Wikipedia:

"This is the way people are looking for information," Kestenbaum said. "They're looking to Wikipedia for it, so Wikipedia better be ready for it."

He compares Wikipedia to "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," the often-flippant, always-friendly electronic encyclopedia from the Douglas Adams novel of the same name. That too was compiled by correspondents from all over the universe.
