Wikipedia

I was pleased to see a reference to my book on Buddhism and vegetarianism in this article in Wikipedia. I don’t think it’s a particularly good article, and you’d be better reading my book for a fuller and more balanced account.

Wikipedia at its best is excellent, and it often is excellent. At worst it can be highly misleading. The trouble is you can’t necessarily tell whether a particular piece of information is accurate or not unless you know the subject. John Seigenthaler found out the hard way that anyone can write anything on Wikipedia.
