I propose that Wikipedia include a new link in its navigation menu to the page Who writes Wikipedia. My primary concern is the potential for schoolchildren to assume that all Wikipedia entries are of equally high quality. This link documents the popularity of Wikipedia among kids: Alexa's Most Popular in Kids and Teens Category. This MSNBC news article discusses how uncritically the typical student entering college approaches research: Colleges look to test internet IQ.
Given the comments by Nowither at the old proposal about changing the Wikipedia tagline, I don't just want a link to a disclaimer, which is written in legalese, but to an educational statement written in simple language. I posted my draft comments at Who writes Wikipedia on August 23, 2005. Please edit if you have suggestions for improvements!
