I am a huge fan of Wikipedia, though I have never contributed. I don't think it replaces Britannica and its ilk -- we will always need formal reference works. No, I think it is something else entirely, and a something which makes me feel all warm inside about the internet.
Anyway if, like me, you've ever wondered how entries develop (the culture of it, rather than the process, which is clearly explained on Wikipedia itself) check out this splendid screencast - you need sound - on the evolution of the entry for Heavy Metal Umlaut. Class.
