Only a very few would've imagined a Wikipedia world back then, where people would voluntarily participate in the crowdsourcing of an online encyclopedia." [1]

  • Europe at War 1939–1945: No Simple Victory by Norman Davies mentions Wikipedia in Chapter 6 (Portrayals), page 460/461 with the words: [A]nd there is Wikipedia, the self-regulating Internet encyclopedia, to which anyone can contribute. Professional historians tend to distrust such websites. The Web they say, is dangerous. It is full of dubious statements and manifest errors. So, too, one might add, is every other source of historical information.
