Why Wikipedia is crap

My son (who will be seven next month) is currently on a one-boy mission to edit, amend, improve and generally overhaul every English-language entry on Wikipedia for the Bucharest Metro.

Why?

Because he is a train spotter in the making and because, well, he can.

Online, the worth of the knowledge of a small boy is exactly the same as that of a senior university professor. Those who have studied tunnel engineering for decades must defer to the ramblings of a boy who thinks ‘chocolate’ is spelt tchoclit.

This is wrong. Very wrong.
