I'll update the post tonight to give a warning. From my quick scan, it seemed that the landing pages for Design Patterns weren't all that heinous, though. If you have any sites you recommend me linking, please drop them here and I'll add 'em to the main post body. Thanks! @Evan – RE: Wikipedia – Yes, definitely.
