I love the wikipedia. It's a great place. I sometimes edit things on there ...
such as the page on Dan Hill to which I edited it to include Canadian Content :)

while I visit wikipedia a lot, the problem with it is the fact that its completly compiled by anyone who uses the internet...wrong information can be added due to that.

At the end of each entry, there is a list of links for the subject at hand, and that is an external link.

which topic? I know amiright is on the misheard lyrics page as an external link, but I wasn't aware of inthe00s being on there. Several for inthe80s, topics like protest songs and 99 Luftballoons.
Wikipedia is great, but you have to remember to double check your facts with other sources. I would never do a paper for a school report based strictly on information found there or make a final decision based on info from there on anything.

wikipedia is pretty cool. i was stunned that they had a bunch of entries on the "final girl," that whole film theory thing about 80s horror movies. it's such an obscure concept! i was blown away.
apparently it is open to anyone, but false or incorrect facts get fixed pretty fast because people correct them. i heard this thing on the radio about it. but you know, maybe the radio's wrong!

I discovered Wikipedia over a year ago (probably while I was researching a school project) and found it so much better than other "encyclopedia" websites - especially since it was (and still is) free of charge. I also have edited a few pages myself. I think I edited the Chinese Horoscope pages.

It's hard to find a site as throrough as Wikipedia, but yes, it's best to keep researching (as any good student would do) rather than get ALL their facts/info. from just one website.

Wikipedia is a million monkeys trying to type out Shakespeare, which ends up producing Tom Clancy novels.
