Wow. I think I'm addicted to Wikipedia. It's like crack. But I learn stuff. Not necessarily useful stuff, mind you...but stuff nonetheless.

wiki is god

I've started saying to people with stupid questions "Go to google and if you don't find anything, go to wikipedia.org"

Welcome to the cult :)

I find myself using it more and more. I'm starting to show Wiki more preference than Google.

A recent independent panel found wikipedia's scientific articles to be as reliable as those in Britannica

It's one hell of a homework tool. We've used it for six different projects for Ashers (5th grade), and I love looking stuff up there.

Just be warned that anything that is even remotely subjective will always have errors of one bias or another there. Sometimes rather glaring. I know this because of certain entries about Jewish culture saying only certain sects believe in x thing, when I know several not of those sects that do.

But the fact-based stuff like science is loads more accurate.

I think you can learn from crack too... I just don't remember much.
