If only Wikipedia was an ultimately credible site (definitely is not for historians and anyone in the history field). Nonetheless the editing seems just about right. Hopefully we can truly say an actual farewell to Gill, well at least at the head coaching position.

Coach section isn't only mistakes on site.

I agree but the coach section just made me laugh ... probably not for Gill lovers (ewwww, that sounds strekkish)

There have actually been studies done to show wiki has fewer errors than Britannica.

Think about it, have you ever said anything that can be factually proven wrong on the internet?

Yeah, academia’s attitude toward Wikipedia is comical considering the amount of errors and incorrect information found in “official” sources. I’m not saying that Wikipedia is spot on, but saying that “academic” sources aren’t always accurate as well.

Wikipedia is a great starting point in researching a topic. It shouldn't be a primary source in research papers but it's a great starting point.
