Well this does put to rest the idea that wikipedia was IEEE peer reviewed. That guy, I forgot his name, that c.... guy which pm's everybody with bs. Well I myself never used wikipedia as a resource for any of my school work, thank goodness,

I'm pretty sure every collegiate student that is putting enough time into papers to use sources for a bibliography is going to avoid wikipedia. Best thing it is used for is finding a topic and scrolling to the bottom and finding the outside links to articles and using those as references.
