But Chris McGovern, a former Government adviser and chair of the Campaign for Real Education, said that the award represents the “dumbing down” of academia.

He said it is “very surprising” that a “reputable academic organisation” has made this award. “The problem with Wikipedia is that its entries can be exceptionally misleading,” he said.

“Wikipedia has benefits but a reliance on it is likely to dilute and undermine serious academic study. It actually has promoted a considerable amount of intellectual laziness.”

Meanwhile, the Daily Mail is still trying to shit on the Wiki-Land-Of-Magic. Revenge for that attempt to remove all Daily Mail references?

The Maastricht University honord Jimmy with a honorary doctorate, and WP-NL has even a educatieprogramma there.
I know, it's unbelievable, but WM-NL has more of this "education" programs. So, yes Flip, academia is eating itself. Or better: Has eaten itself already.
