Poll How do you judge Wikipedia?I was just wondering, since I like looking things up on wiki, but met someone who is the extreme opposite of that, and mentioned that he doesn't trust the info on wiki at all

We are thinking close here... I'm not so much thinking about the ultimate truth, but about changing facts. You know, facts that have been revisited and revised - it takes a while (sometimes) until a book is changed to current knowledge, whereas new info spread fast on the internet, possibly faster than any teacher in school might even know about. (Which isn't helpful then, but still...)
I like wiki because I have seen a few documentaries on the telly where they explained how the facts I learned in school are already suspected to be wrong by modern scientists... though I couldn't say if wiki is more up-to-date on that. But it probably is.
