Wikipedia for term papers

Now that the WB has college faculty on its masthead (Professor Fleming, eh?) I thought this was apropos:

When Esquire magazine writer A.J. Jacobs decided to do an article about the freely distributable and freely editable online encyclopedia Wikipedia, he took an innovative approach: He posted a crummy, error-laden draft of the story to the site.

In short, the community of wikipediasts cleaned the article up. C|Net has the story. Worth a read. (via Tony)
