I love Wikipedia for quick information on a topic. Of course you have to read some of it with a grain of salt cause it can be opinionated. Anyway I read that they are protesting the SOPA bill and will be offline for Wednesday.

I love Wikipedia too. It is my go-to source for information. It is a pity however that I can't references it as research for most of my classes.

Well of course not, Wikipedia can be considered facts mixed with opinions so it should not be taken as 100% accurate by any means therefore you would not want to use unsubstantiated info in your research projects.

I like Wikipedia, especially the online version, they give the quick information you need without reading more of the information.

Because of the fairly high chance that Wiki entries can be incorrect or misinformed due to the fact that pretty much anyone and his uncle can edit any entry, most teachers in the US won't accept Wiki sources for school papers, or at least not at the main and/or sole source. And now Wiki is going to get out there and mislead, misinform and generally confuse the as yet otherwise unreached and unconfused. How fun!

That's a given. Quoting from Wikiedia is like quoting someone's opinion BUT some info has sources to back it up. If you see Wikipedia more as a guide then you can be safe.
