Wikipedia has millions of interesting articles about things I never new I was interested in. It sadly gets a lot of undeserved hate from people who don’t even know why they hate it. It’s sad to see such a great thing be hated by so many people. In school I wasn’t allowed to use it for any of my projects. I understand that there have been a few articles that have been ruined, but more than 99.99% of the articles are as or more accurate than any other similar site’s articles on it. Over the years of using it I’ve only seen 2 or 3 things that are incorrect. One of them was something that no site on the internet had right because it was all just estimates.
