From today’s TechCrunch:
Microsoft To Shutter Encarta, Read All About It On Wikipedia

Note especially this:
For a full history of Encarta, be sure to check out its comprehensive Wikipedia entry
, which has already been updated to reflect Encarta’s shutdown. Encarta’s entry
on itself doesn’t mention anything about its demise, and actually seems to have less information than the Wikipedia article.

Also, I was little surprised that almost everyone mentioned accuracy as an important criterion to use in evaluating Wikipedia. But no one thought to check the accuracy of alternative sources of information — as did this article.
