Thing #8 - Stretch
I chose the word "bling" to search on wikipedia. (Why, I don't know. ) The content appeared reliable, relevant, and well written. There were some discussions and even an article written on the subject of "bling." What I found most interesting was the reference to the "end of bling". I know that wikipedia will not allow just anyone to edit their pages without review. I think this has helped its reliability and should be taken into consideration when creating your own wiki page.

I agree! I've used it for more current terms that you couldn't find in a regular dictionary or encyclopedia like "web 2.0". There could be mistakes but how many mistakes have you found in a textbook? We need to teach students to evaluate the info for themselves.
