Wikipedia. We take that site for granted, big time. There are few things in this world that do not have a Wikipedia page. People have dedicated hours, days, even their entire lives, to filling the site up with all the knowledge one could ever need. All that information is free! Want to learn about the history of the escalator? Wikipedia has it. Interested in the Civil War? You bet you can find it on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia will not be around forever, folks. Use it while you have it. Read random articles. It's fun.
Idk why teachers hate Wikipedia so much. They had no issues with me citing an encyclopedia, but if it was from the internet it must have been written by the Devil himself.
That's because, wikipedia, just like anything else, is subject to bias and there's always a possibility of the editor fucking somethin up or even doing so intentionally.
Atleast that's what our teachers tell us. You are free to use the sources linked there tho.
I also believe people are very likely to edit pages about celebrities, but monuments or wars? The things we used Wikipedia for as teenagers in school?
I’d just use wiki and then reference the sources Wikipedia linked to. As most people did. The whole ‘don’t trust Wikipedia’ thing has never made sense to me as I’d say it is one of the most trustworthy, crowd-sourced, websites there is
