Hey, Yea I think that Wikipedia is also quite useful, but we aren't really allowed to use articles off Wikipedia when it comes to our assignments, because the teachers say that it is not that reliable, and anyone can change the content. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!

I use Wikepedia quite often too, but I don't totally accept what I read from it. Sometimes i just can get basic information from it. However every time I goolge something the article from Wikepedia is always in the first page. I don't think many people want to be lead to Wikepedia but the search engine lead them there. However i think the idea of Wikepedia is innovative and it made the knowledges sharing every where freely.

I use wiki to check 1.CAD/CAM information 2. Automobiles and aircraft 3. Engines of all kinds 4. WW-II German Weapons 5. Movie History and plots 6. As a source of history and events which occured in the past 7. Wrestling... Wiki is fully fully great and i fully like it. Almost 95% of my search will be resulted by wikipedia.

Yeah I use it. Sometimes it's prefect if you are just trying to quickly look up what or who something or someone is. I wouldn't necessarily trust it for all details since it is not 100% accurate, but I figure the gist of it should be right.

I often use Wikipedia because I am a member of a website that I often answer and post questions there. So Wikipedia is so useful for me to create new questions. I love China

I find it useful too. Just for basic information. For example, someone I know was talking to me (over the phone) about a political situation in the past that they were studying in school. I had NO idea what they were talking about! And I didn't want to feel stupid and undereducated.. I was on the computer at the time so I decided to look it up on Wiki. And it helped me A LOT! I love looking up things on Wikipedia. It's probably the best site ever. I know that a lot of people think that it's not a good source, but I trust it WAY more than I do other sites like it.

Yes, Wikipedia is a powerfull tool, sometimes, we need to check if the information is true, because Wikipedia is updated by anyone.
