New "New York Civil Law Poll"

The poll regarding citing a weblog was up too long, so I'm cleaning house.  The question asked: "Would you cite a professor's or noted attorney's webog post as persuasive authority in a legal document or scholarly article?  The poll was almost evenly split: 48.4% said yes and 51.6% said no.  Although extremely informal, the poll lends even more legitimacy to weblogs.

Take a look at the new "New York Civil Law" poll and vote.

Because of its ubiquitous nature, I'm curious on your take about the Wikipedia's place in legal documents.  More and more judges are citing the Wikipedia in published decisions.  How comfortable are you with citing to the Wikipedia?
