Wikipedia

what do you think of this excerpt that i read from Sharon Housley's article. "Lets face it, ANYONE can edit Wikipedia. The information read in Wikipedia might be accurate one day and incorrect the next. Wikipedia is a nice resource, but is not a reliable indicator of information. Please do not use links from Wikipedia to indicate a sites worth. Wikipedia uses the same model as Dmoz which has languished, volunteers can only do so much."

i've always used this site.

Hello,

Its a great site I would surely miss. It does'nt matter what you Google you can bet your last penny/cent/euro/ringit Wikipedia will have the imformation you need.

Sharon Housley: I wonder if she could gather half the imformation, documate it half as well, and supply all the free images for EVERY subject that Wikipedia does - I doubt it.

Some people have thought about such a site of imformation but I hav't seen any such attempt to date.

Well done Wikipedia!

It's true. Any one can edit anything lowering the credibility of the information

I don't trust much i read on wikipedia. In fact, The only things on wikipedia i trust are things i already know.

Even the creator of it agrees, Which is why he is creating citzendium.

These days wikipedia is used for spamming. So Google is not showing the backlinks fron wikipedia.

How can you trust it considering where the information has come from?
It's not a book that has an obligation to print accurate information that has been researched, Anyone can go there and write whatever they like.
