My only encounter with Wikis has been Wikipedia which I was previously warned by other teachers that anyone could post to the site and the information provided isn't always reliable.  I never really thought much about it until I had asked my fifth graders to research composers last year and some of them immediately went to Wikipedia.  It was very difficult to explain to the class that the information wasn't necessarily factual when they were sitting there staring at it on the computer screen.  Simple things like the dates when some composers were born and their nationalities were wrong, so I can't imagine what else might have been wrong.  There are sometimes discrepancies for some of these things because of the lack of accurate record keeping or the survival of those records, but these weren't obscure composers.  I think students need to be made especially aware that what they see is someones opinion or interpretation of the facts and might not necessarily be true.
