I always laugh when someone says “That’s what it says on wikipedia.”

Most wikipedia articles have many references that can be tracked down, not to mention further research sections. It isn’t always complete, but wikipedia is a good way to get info together quickly, due to how much gets compiled right away.
Should I even mention how easy it is to get a publisher to let you publish a book? Some publishers check their content less than wikipedia does, which is pretty insane. Any information that is incorrect can be double checked by cross-reference.

Wikipedia is certain one of the most impressive ideas to pop out of the internet. I love that it promotes the interest in the concept of verifiability. It is sad when one utilizes a single source claiming ‘it must be true, it’s written’. Citation is provided in Wikipedia offsite to point other sources and therefore more complete and separate sources; its a link page of interest by interested parties bringing unconfirmed but dynamically verifiable focus to a modern age of information overload.

regarding the precision and value of the content.. well, let`s just say that wiki is a newborn, and that depends on you to raise it.

I remember when Obama’s wiki page was covered with the writing NIIIIGGGER.
Internetz, you’re so immature.

anytime people edit something on wikipedia with false information, it is surprising just how fast that info gets changed.
