YOU WHEN YOU USING WIKIPEDIA THE ONE THING YOU SHOULD NOT FORGET IS THAT THE ABOVE IS STAFFED BY VOLUNTEERS AND AS A RESULT OF THIS THEY DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES OF MORE REPUTABLE SITES . BUT THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS SITE IS THAT IT CAN BE A GOOD STARTING POINT WHEN YOU WANT TO RESEARCH A SUBJECT, BECAUSE THE THIS SITE IS EASY TO NAVIGATE AND THE INFORMATION IS BUT TO TOGETHER IN AN TO UNDERSTAND WAY. SO THIS SHOULD SPUR YOU ON TO CROSS REFERENCE ANY INFORMATION

I usually find it very accurate. But I double check what it says just to make sure. When I find an article on the subject I need in Wikipedia, I take some key phrases from that article, put them in quotation marks and then search the phrases one by one on www.google.com. That leads me to lots of other sources that I can put in my bibliography.

I use Wikipedia everyday, and it is very accurate, I even used it for my report on Morocco, or finding biography's about people, and information about ANYTHING you can think of.

Yah I use it. Even if the info or data is a vague or unverified, they notify anyone who accesses it. Personally, I love Wikipedia. Peace.

I used it once when I needed information for the courts and court cases for school and it was very helpful. It gets right to the point.

you search for your topic in the search box. I don't believe it''s very accurate beacause an ordinary person puts up information on that.
