in a nutshell it's what the internet is for,
people sharing valid information in order to further the knowledge of all involved.
to say i like it would be an understatement.it's a testament to what we can achieve when we work together.IMO it's the highest quality web site that exists

No, I prefer books to Wikipedia.
Occasionally when answering a YA question, I use Wikipedia to double confirm a date. I've read one article on Wikipedia that contained some bias - and I rewrote the sentence that offended me to reflect both sides of the story.

Yeah. When I have homework or I want to find out about something I will go on Wikipedia. Theres no guarantee that everything is true but its really helpful and gives lots of information about soo much stuff.

Love it. People complain about it saying that because anyone can edit it, but because so many people do they tend to keep it clean and accurate. It's my one-stop place to look up anything, that's what I love so much about it. If you're researching something for school they probably wouldn't let you use wikipedia, but it's a handy starting off place to get the jist of the topic before you research further.

I love Wikipedia. It is important to verify information found there if accuracy is important, but this is frankly true of any secondary source. It provides an excellent collection of ideas and information, and when it is inaccurate, usually the process of verifying information gets you further into the facts than you would have been without that starting point.

I don't mind Wikipedia. It's good for a quick reference or to settle bets among friends, but for hard and fast facts it's just too unreliable.

yes wikipedia is cool, it gives you a unusual insight on things.

I like it, but I am a little cautious of what I believe off of there. Only because anyone can edit their site pages.

Yeah. It's full of many things. History, Science, Geography. And what we need in our school work and other studies. It's a great encyclopedia. I like it so much.
