    I saw recently that YWN made it onto Wikipedia, though I’m not suprised given that it has become a household name in the Jewish community. But I noticed that it mentions the ‘Coffee Room’ so I was wondering if it was any of you here that put it on and what you think about it that they posted it and the credibility of the article of course (which Wikipedia is known for getting failing marks for). Anyway I’m new here in the Coffee Room (though I popped in once-in-a-while), so be mekarev me :-).

    Wikipedia? Very accurate. For instance check out Creedmoor Psychiatric Center and Moshe Aryeh Friedman….

    Anyone can add what they want to Wiki. It has gotten so big that hardly any checking is done except when it comes to hate speech or obscenities – or articles in support of the Jewish right to live in EY.
