Just wondering...I occasionally run into people that dismiss wikipedia
out of hand citing a lack of accuracy. Needless to say, I get a little
excited because even when I suggest that they are capable of fixing
inaccuracies or adding missing information, they are defeatists who
simply don't get it.

I would bet others run into this kind of person...who doesn't believe
that it's accurate unless it's printed in Groliers or Britannica or some
pay service. How do you deal with people like this?
