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. 

Wikipedia is very good. Done whole assignments for school from there.  ;D

hehehe, same here.

Wikipedia is the only proof i have that there is a God  ;D

yes it is, but what's an 'external' link?


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

Only used it once or twice, but it's cool. Congrats Chuck and InThe00s  8)

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.

I find Wikipedia is great for finding information on bands and singers  8)

i use pimpipedia myself. :D

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

And I'll be damned if it ain't the best Tom Clancy novel EVER!  :D

Check out this article, on printing wikipedia: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051101/wr_nm/wikipedia_dc

I don't think monkey's could operate a site like that  ;D

Over the years, I've added alot of stuff to wikipedia, much of which has been edited by others LOL

Just recently, I edited the page on Kim Cattrall, which had her listed as an English actress.  I changed it to British-Canadian actress, and some dumbass changed it back.  Oh well.

I always like Wikipedia,I look up people who are alive or had passed away.

I go on Wikipedia a lot and i agree that people can put wrong information on there. I have even edited a few articles myself.

So true. Sometimes they put info that doesn't make any sense. I've contemplated signing up on there but haven't done that yet.

I stumbled across that site a few years ago and have found it very interesting. :D

I actually have my own account on Wikipedia. I edit there and contribute a lot. With Wikipedia, you can't just put unsourced information on there. It will get reverted. You have to have reliable references, so adding information takes a long time.

Contributing to Wikipedia is a privilege, and I love it. I hate it when people bash Wikipedia and act like it's 100% unreliable. They don't know what goes on behind the process.

I agree. A lot of stuff is actually pretty good, especially articles about famous things and facts. However, a bit problematic are articles about regional things where a lot of facts cannot be double checked by approvers.

Do they let you edit information? ???

I'm pretty sure that if you sign up on there, you do have the privilege to edit, so the answer is likely yes.

Indeed, before anyone could edit online, now you have sign up as you say.

You can ask, but the reference has to be displayed.

For some reason, I could not access wikipedia on my tablet this morning, all is fine now.

For the most important/popular facts, you can definitely trust Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is sometimes poor, when it comes to topics which are very regional, though.

and you have to make sure that your information is correct.
The locked pages are under control and cannot be changed by the general public.

They have been more accurate lately.

For the general public cannot supply info straightaway, not you have to log in, etc.

I like Wikipedia.  Most of the stuff is actually accurate.  I can tell when somebody's messing around.

They are more accurate now than in the past. Before people would post anything.

So can I.

Right...but now the site has guidelines, and those in charge of the site get alerts whenever someone edits a page and puts questionable information on it.
