"Nearly 50% of US physicians going online for professional purposes are visiting Wikipedia for health and medical information, especially condition information, according to a Manhattan Research study. Despite using the online encyclopedia as a resource for information, only about 10% of the 1,900 physicians surveyed created new posts or edited existing posts on Wikipedia, the study found." So 20% of physicians that read Wikipedia edit it? That's fantastic! That's far better than the general population. Perhaps Wikipedia isn't so unfriendly to experts as we fear. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
