Have you ever been doing some sort of research and came across some bit of knowledge or a fact that a reputable source such as Encyclopedia Britannica got wrong, but the discouraged and distrusted Wikipedia got right? It happened to me twice the other day, I had a minor existential crisis.
And for a random comment, Yahoo! wanted this question to go in Society & Culture > Cultures & Groups > Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered. Can't imagine why.

Since I am really old fashioned I don't do research online unless I am really lazy and most of the time I will go to the library. Once though I was doing research on Arthropods and the online encyclopedia was extremely lacking in information but wikipedia's was correct. But, now I get some online encyclopedias that generally cost money provided free though our school service and I can access them from home.

You'd be on the set of coronation highway! In theory i assume if no longer something ever happend,there could have been no massive Bang which might recommend that circumstances for existence would not have been created!! In physics isn't there a regulation that states each and every action HAS AN equivalent AND OPPOSITTE reaction?? consequently if there became into no preliminary action,evoloution would not exist.... Cool! Existential questions:)

Yes, proves the internet is as consistant as Robert Downey Jr. staying sober....oops, did I say that?
The worst is doing research and finding something related interesting and following that line of research, then finding something else interesting and following that, etc. I guess that's the very definition of being tangled in the World Wide Web.

An existential crisis? Is that in wikipedia? No. I've run across a few wikipedia errors though.

That's pretty cool. IMDB is becoming less and less of a trusted source so i have to go to wiki for movie info sometimes. IMDB just doesn't have it anymore.

No, I don't think it's ever happened to me. lol. You should contact them and tell them. They'd probably give you a bit of $$ for the tip. =]

Makes one wonder who is behind that Yahoo! curtain, pushing all them buttons and pulling those levers.

Happens all the time! (both your para #1 and para #2, above!) Proves, 'you can't get it right every time'! no one is, nothing is, infallible!
