I created my Wikipedia account with the name "Librarian4kids". I used that name to give more credence to any edits I may decide to make to Wikipedia in the future. I edited the PVLD page by adding information and links to our storytimes.
In my experience kids use Wikipedia a lot so I take every opportunity I can to show/explain to them that they must be "critical thinkers" when using this resource. Most of them don't know that the pages can be edited by anyone with an account -- which could be them! I personally haven't used Wikipedia for this reason. I figure there is probably an accurate source for the information I need elsewhere.
