Thanks for the link. I actually felt a surge of pride when I read it: "A student writing an essay for their teacher may be tempted to plagiarize or leave facts unchecked. A new study shows that if you ask that same student to write something that will be posted on Wikipedia, he or she suddenly becomes determined to make the work as accurate as possible, and may actually do better research. ... "[Brenna Gray] says despite its faults, [Wikipedia] does promote solid values for its writers, including precise citations, accurate research, editing and revision."
