I was looking up some information and definitions for my AP European History review book on Wikipedia (yeah, not very accurate because people can edit and what not) but I've never experienced any problems with that until today when I saw this:
 What are some of your weird wikipedia moments? Or if you don't have any, do you trust wikipedia? |

QUOTE You're a jackass. Wikipedia is probably the most innovative, amazing, and liberating addition to the real information age to date. It's a very important, very useful, and very revolutionary tool. And, don't forget, Wikipedia's accuracy is practically equitable to Encyclopedia Britannica's [1]. Tell that to your university lecturers. Yes, Wikipedia is a brilliant resource. However, there is the ability to go on to some people's entries and mess around with them and alter them until they make absolutely no sense. |

One of my friends edited an article so that it mentioned something about a leg of ham. ...yeah, I don't even know, but he and another friend of mine were laughing about it. I don't know if the editor got in trouble. |

QUOTE(Synesthesia @ Apr 29 2008, 02:36 PM) I'm pretty sure Nate was being sarcastic. Reading over my post, the tone does appear to be largely sarcastic. But, really, I was being entirely sincere. I think Wikipedia is probably the most important thing in the world right now. |
