I had great faith in Wikipedia until I found out how casual they are about posting information.

No more!

Wikipedia functions as my primary starting point for most research. The Further Reading section at the bottom of a Wiki page typically links to the best available websites about a given subject. Knowing that anybody can update most Wiki pages increases my skeptism making me a better researcher, IMHO. Exposure to Wiki's freewheeling world also heightens my skeptism of traditional research found in printed media such as books and magazines. Yet another Good ThingTM IMHO.
