Wikipedia, and other Wikimedia wikis

[compwhizii]

If you didn't already know I am infact an editor at Wikipedia with over 19,000 edits. I'm curious about how others use it, an their knowledge of the other wikis.

Thanks!

Wikipedia is da bomb! I don't know why people hate it so much, but yet again those are the people who have never used Wiki software or looked at the edit history I've edited a few articles myself.

Ohhh that's nice! Well, got proof? I wanna see if it really is 19,000. Seems like a big big number lol

Yeah, I like wikipedia.
Only problem with it is that of course anyone like us can simply edit an article and if we were evil we could make it wrong.
I rarely use it much anymore for schoolwork etc. ever since I got a load of stuff on a homework wrong because someone had changed the article on wikipedia!

This is what the in-line citations are for. Use the data sources the article has referenced instead of the actual Wikipedia article itself.

Yeah, that's the best part of wikipedia I think.

I love all the wikis. It is so nice to be able to find whatever you want in less than 10 seconds. I only use it periodically and I edit if I find a mistake or have something to add.

I wonder what was the first article made on wikipedia?

Don't.
1. It written like an ad.
2. You have a Conflict Of Interest.
So it'll get deleted.

Wiki can be very unreliable and inaccurate some times. Like there is an article that claims the average IQ of some nations is below 59 and people keep chaning it to higher but the article aoutomaticly converts back to 59 everytime.
