Actually, academics have for the most part grudgingly accepted Wikipedia. You'd be surprised. Some example: From theoretical computer science: http://scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=367 http://scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=367 From biology: http://scienceroll.com/2008/12/20/rna-biology-journal-and-wikipedia/ http://scienceroll.com/2008/12/20/rna-biology-journal-and-wi... I'm not sure who are these people who still feel threatened by Wikipedia. (The author of this article -- and I use the word article liberally -- is no academic, just a random blogger trying to drum up some pageviews.) In my experience, it's mostly print journalists who're still leery of this whole 'web' thing that tend to have a problem with Wikipedia. Just give them a couple of years, their publications will go bankrupt and they will find other jobs :-)
