To support the assertion, this article references the main page of the website of a marketing company who published a "report" where 50% of doctors had used wikipedia as a reference.
I can't find the "report" on their website anywhere.
Are they trying to imply that 50% of physicians had looked up something...anything?... on wikipedia, or are they implying that 50% of their sample of physicians made a diagnostic or treatment decision based on wikipedia? What was the population surveyed?
If anyone can link to the actual study/report, I'd be interested.
There is much more reliable online information than wikipedia for physicians, eg. Up-To_Date, Lexicomp, epocrates, MD consult, online Merck, etc. I've never heard of a physician basing diagnosis or treatment on anything found on wikipedia.
I love wikipedia, but don't use it like that.
