Wikipedia

My favorite website is Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org/). It is really amazing and can help you both to study or for fun. It is one of the first website I discover when I got a laptop. I go on it everyday for very different matters. I use it to help me with an essay. Of course it will not be my unique source but it is very useful to get a quick overview of the subject I have to study on. I also use it to check fact on biographies, History or whatever I'm not clear about. I don't agree with those who say that one can only find poor information on Wikipedia. One can see very quickly if the article is serious or not. Wikipedia is not to be used as a regular encyclopedia but more as a giant share of information on all subjects. What seduces me on Wikipedia is the large community that rules the website. These people believe strongly in the project and take a great part of their free time to make Wikipedia work. It really became a reflex to go on Wikipedia but this is also risky. Indeed, I use much less my memory since I only need 2 minutes to find what I am looking for. That is why I now try to check my memory before Wikipedia !
