A few of the signs that Wikipedia is starting to gain some general acceptance as a reference work (at least online among the tech-savvy) are that a recent Salon.com article links to Wikipedia's software engineering article, and the website for development of the popular programming language Perl, dev.perl.org, has a link to Wikipedia's BASIC article.

We passed the 31,000 substantial article mark according to the Statistics page over the weekend. Somewhere in the beginning of the Wikipedia there was a stated aim of 100,000 articles. Almost a third of the way there!
