truthiness

Do you trust the information you read on Wikipedia? If anyone can edit content, how do you know who to trust? Would educators accept Wikipedia as a source for research projects if the entry had a high level of trust?

UCSC Associate professor of Comupter Engineering, Luca de Alfaro, developed a "truthiness" rating system that color codes text of Wikipedia articles according to a computed value of trust. The Wiki Lab demo contains a few hundred pages; click here to check it out.
