I have always been a bit wary of using Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
as a resource for prospect research. If even I can edit it and add content to it,
then it is even more in need of double checking than other resources. However, I
note from the prospect research email group that a wiki has been started on prospect
research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_research/. It is currently a short
entry, but hopefully it will grow.

Anyway, I decided to edit the entry, and add a link. I should have checked the guidelines,
before doing so. As an associate editor for fResource http://fresource.info, I cannot
add a link to that site. So, if any of you would like to add that hyperlink, and
help to develop the wiki in other ways, please do so.

I felt OK adding a link to Mat Iredale’s The Prospect Research Toolkit (www.fundraisingresearch.
info), another excellent website for prospect researchers.
