Well I appreciate it but I really do not contribute on it like posting any information. I do appreciate them being online providing lots of information that I think is pretty much accurate already.

yeah that is true but for an online encyclopedia I would say they are pretty okay already.

Yeah i support wikipedia.org, It saves me from being bored from my work and i learned a lot from it. Anyways as some of the peoples say, some articles are biased but i havent encounter a misleading or a wrong information from it though.

Do I support it as in do I give money to it? No. Do I think it's a good idea? To an extent, yes. I think it's a good idea to have such a large collection of information, especially since the information is readily available (and easy to fact-check). However, I've spoken to several people who are experts on certain topics (say molecular biology), and weren't able to push their edits through due to the autocratic admins. Wikipedia's admin policy is, IMO, definitely problematic, as it rewards those who can afford to spend a lot of time on the site. These people are often kids with too much time on their hands, and they end up removing the accurate work of actual experts on the subject just because they can. It's a curious, small detail, I guess, but it makes me cringe at times.
