Yeah, Wikipedia's just as good.

Sometimes it chokes a bit because some dufus user vandalizes, but that stuff usually changes back quickly.

I'd rather be using a frequently updated database than reliable a source that could be 30 odd years old.

Besides, if your work is based solely on Wikipedia, then there's problems there. Some of my teachers accept it. I know of plenty that don't. I don't see what's the big deal.

I usually use Wikipedia to get myself acquainted with material, then go to the library and use scholastic journals and books for proper research.

Stop looking at me! Look at me! Stop looking at me!
I figured it out. It looks like a rat. The grille looks like two rodent teeth and the lights look like squinty rat eyes. Its a ratcar.

That works too.

I try to avoid using it sometimes because I know many teachers don't trust it, although sometimes I can't help it.
