Do you ever get on "wikipedia" to look up something and wind up elsewhere? Today I started out on "Lost in Space" and wound up in Australia with Kangaroo dogs! No,I don't know how Anyhow,It's a fun and educational way to while away a few hours.

I use it all the time.

Some of the stuff on there needs to be double checked. As the information is not always upto scratch. So I'm told. but I have always found it an interesting read.

As I understand it, anyone can plug in their own definitions to wikipedia. Not not sure if that is correct or not,but reading some of the crap that's there makes me beileve it.

It's all user generated content from what I understand. I don't use it to check hard facts, but it's handy for the students on literature assignments to get the basic characters and outlines of a story. It's fun. I tell them NOT to rely on it for things like research, though.

You are right dun, that is why I said it needs double checking. On two occasions my Brother has changed things that he knew were not so.

I don't use it for facts-that is I check several sorces for facts,then try to come to some conclusion .. It is fun to wander around on---
