		<description><![CDATA[jc, if you find bad information in a Wikipedia article why wouldn&#039;t you correct it?  That&#039;s exactly the idea of Wikipedia and it&#039;s very easy to do.

Similarly, if you find that something&#039;s wrong in a post, why not fix it?  It&#039;s common practice and a courtesy to everyone who subsequently reads the post -- many or most of whom will not look at the comments.  Not doing so puts both your credibility and the credibility of the blog at risk, leaves the impression that you don&#039;t care about accuracy.  It&#039;s also very easy to do; Wordpress has an excellent editing interface.

Why don&#039;t you talk to your co-bloggers about it?  I suspect they are interested in producing a high quality blog (I know at least two of them are).  Clearly fixing mistakes is critical to showing you care about what you&#039;re writing and your readers.

I&#039;d like to know that when my feed reader shows me there&#039;s a new post on AlsBlog by JC I can expect something good.]]></description>

If you mean I should correct it in the body of the post, well I&#039;m not. The comments section will make people aware.

But thanks for the advice.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[JC:

&lt;blockquote&gt;France produces around 99.8% of its energy needs by nuclear power while according to the link;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How about correcting that?  France produces 79% of its &lt;em&gt;electricity&lt;/em&gt; by nuclear power.  Another way to say it is that nuclear power supplies 39% of Frances total energy consumption.  I can&#039;t fathom where the 99.8% comes from (it was in the Wikipedia article which has since been updated) and it defies common sense.  It&#039;s startling enough that four fifths of the electricity produced in France comes from nuclear.

From the source that is used in the Wikipedia article you link to:

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;em&gt;In 2004, France consumed 11.2 quadrillion Btu of total energy. Nuclear energy was the largest share, representing 39 percent, followed by oil (36 percent), natural gas (16 percent) and hydroelectricity (5 percent).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

For what it&#039;s worth, France exports 18% of the electrity it produces (same source).]]></description>
