18. Wikipedia • Participation maps popular, not academic concerns • It is a working community…but is it a good resource for medical information? • Lack of Critical Analysis • Problematic as a sole source of information • Like all encyclopedias…ok to start, terrible place to stop. • Benefits are to its active participants, not its readers.
