I have a professor of legal studies this term who used some wikipedia pages for teaching about war crimes. This was the first I had seen of wikipedia in school. Many of my professors will not allow Internet references at all. Others instruct us how to do bibliographic cites for the internet. Large parts of our studies come from on-line legal databases and government web sites publishing the latest laws. This professor is not knowledgeable about internet issues. The articles concerned war crimes. I would suggest based on this study that a reference like Wikipedia will defeat euro-centrism or American centric references. I can study statistics or physics from America books. But law needs to have a local context and Canadian Law is not Australian law nor American law even if all three are common law. I look forward to writing more for wikopedia even though as I write this my first article for wikepedia is marked for deletion because of its quality. Did the academy study rock music in the 1970s? No that was an elitism that has since been regretted. Quality v. everyone having a right to speak?
