Harvard student and Crimson columnist, Matthew Gline, asks if the Wikipedia and other "online sources" can be "trusted in an academic environment."
Quick comment: I wonder if the headline writer understands the differences between the many types of material found "on" and "via" the web?

"For 20 years, David Rumsey assembled a collection of more than 150,000 historical maps of the Americas and the world. Motivated by a desire to make his private map collection a free public resource, Rumsey then created an online map library, http://www.davidrumsey.com/, which currently has over 10,000 high resolution images of maps from his collection. He has also built a suite of tools for users to experience and interpret the maps online. These include GIS, which allows users to combine historical maps with modern geospatial data to see change over time."
