RE: Principles of Scientific Research in Egyptology
Hey, Wikipedia is cool. I know that there are a lot of experts, of course. But most scientists refuse to accept this as an adequate resource, because the given information is sometimes not verified or even properly cited. Everyone can rework an article when he/she wants. But I admit, wiki sometimes is good for fast checking some common facts.
The point is that good Wikipedia information is referenced on wikipedia. With some efforts, it is easy to trace back the source. My students can use wikipedia, but wikipedia cannot be the only resource.
