I engaged in Wikipedia as a project to determine its appropriateness for student research. It's time to end the project. I'm impressed with many of the editors here, especially the film team (Erik, Alientraveller, Yllosubmarine, Stetsonharry, BIGNOLE, and many others) and others such as Daniel Case. My goal was to see in what ways WP could be used by students and teachers in furthering learning. I have no problem letting my students use WP with the usual caveats (a starting point for research), but, unfortunately, I am no longer in a position in which I can promote it as a good tool to colleagues. Some may find enjoyment in what passes for average "discourse" and "discussion" in the WP community; I no longer can.
Thanks for the experience.
