Educators need to be more concerned with the forms of conduct that students learn from participating in Wikipediot “culture”, and less with Wikipedia’s ephemeral content.

If they do that, they will realize that Wikipedia is one of the most elitist cultures that one can imagine — its privileged classes don’t just delete articles, they delete entire points of view from fair representation.
