haha theres always an anti wikipedia person chiming in from the stone age :tongue:
Wikipedia is under constant and infinite peer review. Name one conventional encyclopedia that can match that. There are things that are wrong in Wikipedia, but they get fixed daily and oftentimes immediately. Try typing incorrect information into a wiki article. See how long it lasts. The level that articles are written to is not for readability either. Wiki is always subject to change as new information is available. Encyclopedia Britannica dumbs things down, and when things are wrong, they stay wrong for a long time. A 12 year old boy recently found a very large error in encyclopedia Britannica. When you have a limited number of authors for an article the POV of the authors is going to influence the tone of the article. If you discount wiki wholesale as a good source of information you are really missing out. Using wiki I have expanded my knowledge base considerably. E.g. I took the Army AFAST test only using wiki articles to study from and scored a 157 which was the highest score they recruiting district C.O. had ever seen, he was a pilot himself. Must not have had all false info huh?
