AGH!

How good are misunderstandings?

Well yeah - we've had it drummed into us at school that wikipedia is unreliable and that we shouldn't use it.

My view of it is actually the opposite. I think it's better than a lot of other tertiary sources in that it has a wider range of input from a whole lot of different perspectives, rather than being written solely by one author or a company. It better represents the macro world view point, or common knowledge. There's also the fact that the authors have no financial gain - so anything written is purely for the betterment of the article.

Of course, vandalism can be a problem - but it's usually cleared up so quickly with all the wiki stalkers around that it's rarely an issue (for me, anyway).

Anyway that was really off topic...

I am ashamed to say no, I never thought of searching for Tenmon on Wikipedia. Embarassed

But at least I've finally found that what I needed to know right?
