Do you use Wikipedia?

Answer 1

I used to until I was doing research on a band and clicked on one of their album links and it took me to a different bands page. It just isn't very accurate when anybody can edit it.

Answer 2

Hm. Let me see...

The answer is yes. According to Wikipedia, I do make use of Wikipedia. But it also says here that I also refer to other sources with frequency, because I think that it's a good idea to always double-check information where it's important.

Waddaya know! Wikipedia is right again!

Answer 3

Yes, but i dont trust it 100% because anyone can change the information on that site. So using it isnt always the best thing.Ihave seen many, many mistakes in some articles.
In school we are not allowed to use wikipedia for that reason.

Answer 4

If anyone used Wikipedia, they wouldn't be here asking questions. So I'll venture to guess...no, not many Yahooers use Wikipedia.

Answer 5

All the time, I even wrote an article for a wiki website:

Answer 6

yes


Yes is a common English word indicating agreement or acceptance. It is the opposite of no. It is often replaced by "yeah", "yea", "yep" (with various spellings, including "yup"), "uh-huh", "ayuh", (generally used only in Maine), "aye", "ah" and "are" (used in the English Midlands and South-West respectively), "abuli", "Chupper" (used only in some Australian regions)

The word "yes" comes from the Old English gése, gíse, gýse (pronounced with a palatized g which was represented by a yogh), with the literal meaning of so be it!. From géa + sī, the present subjunctive of to be (be it!). Géa, (possibly meaning thus), is from the Proto-Germanic *ja or *je, with the meaning of yes or truly.[1]

The words "aye" and "yea" are used for "yes" in some contexts. 'Aye' is more common in Scotland and northern England. It may also be used in meetings: 'All who agree say "aye"'. 'Aye' is also a nautical way of saying 'yes'. 'Aye, Aye' means I hear the command, I understand it, and will obey it. 'Yea' is archaic.

In English, "yes" is also used to answer a negative question or statement, an example of "yes" used to disagree with a question or statement is:

The questions "You don’t want it, do you?" and "Don’t you want it?" can be answered by "yes" if the respondent does want the item, and "no" if he or she does not. However, other words are used when the answer needs to be clearly delineated, as in "Of course I want it," or "No, not at all." Many languages use a different word for this purpose. For example, German has "doch" for this purpose (rather than "ja"), French uses "si" (rather than "oui") and Norwegian uses "jau" or "jo".

Answer 7

Oh yes, for virtually everything, it's so helpful, especially for when I need to look up stuff.
