Ok, so first of all you should read the latest post here:

This is what I refer to. Can Wikipedia exist given it's manner of use? Is it *really* possible to get a result?

Don't we always say "don't fight forces, make use of them"? How can they hope to fight the power of ignorance?

And again, as we know, the Universe is not a static thing, and obviously cannot be catalogued.

Please don't be case specific, the idea itself, the concept, don't you think it's flawed?

Once more, please do not be case specific. We are not talking about what became of those who used or misused the site, but what will become of the site itself.

In my opinion, NO! As long as anyone, including those with little or no knowledge, to edit Wikipedia, it is useless for real knowledge. Books or Internet books must be written by experts only.

Wikipedia is a useful place to start a search. Any one doing research should know, or will soon learn, that research is not a lazy person's task. It is foolish to quote only one source, or accept as truth only one source to your inquiry. Wikipedia often links to other sites that help you go deeper, often finding affirming or conflicting information. There is no single source of information that is totally accurate and unbiased. But Wikipedia is a good quick reference. Just use your head.

Even if some moron posts something totally flawed on Wikipedia, there are real humans who edit the post before it goes live. So yes, the Winkipedia is reliable.

Do you steal cookies from the cookie jar? Fib to the mailman about what the street address is where you live? Ever go outside and count the stars? Kick the neighbor's cat? Go wee-wee in your pants and try to blame the wet spot on the kid in the next block?

Answer these things and you will have your answer.

I've never thought some idiot wrote what I read on any subject I've looked up so far.
