wikipedia is a very valuable resource and a great example of the kinds of co-operative efforts that the net can accomodate that fall outside the usual capitalist modes of organization: it is not top-down---it is brings with it a critique of the absurd reliance on specialization that is both the strength and weakness of this particular mode of production---it runs counter to the illusion of uninformed passivity of the public that is the reverse of our being treated as a management problem by the ideological apparatus---etc.
that wikipedia requires a critical reading is, if anything, among its strengths.
corporate media requries critical reading as well, but for some reason folk often seem to think that the corporate imprimatur assures accuracy of content. go figure.
