I noticed in one of the references in this article it to Wikipedia. This is really not acceptable. The whole ''point'' of Citizendium is to be reliable, because Wikipedia ''is not''. Using WP as a source for ''text'' is OK, provided that everything in that borrowed text is known by the author to be correct, or checked against other sources, etc. However, it's ''utterly'' inappropriate to cite it as a reference. (If Wikipedia was used as a source of any text, check the 'Content is from Wikipedia', which will produce the appropriate credit.) [[User:J. Noel Chiappa|J.
