>>A similar thought occurred to me, too. If an awards list that is given as a standard reference by a reputable source allows any Tom, Dick, or Fyodor to edit it, how reliable is it really? What's to prevent someone with self-esteem issues to add themself, or someone with an axe to grind to erase a name?

>Wikipedia works really well too. Seems crazy, but mistakes and/or deliberate misinformation tends to get caught and corrected. There is some big social commentary in there somewhere ;-)

For a while I was skeptical about Wikipedia, as I suppose many others were as well, and have come to trust it pretty well. One reason is there are a huge number of people minding the store. My faith in errors getting caught and corrected in a far smaller community like the FoxPro Wiki is not as great.

Did you see that Microsoft finally pulled the plug on Encarta? The reason was the Wikipedia, Google, and other online tools basically made it obsolete.
