{{cquote|Wikipedia is my go-to resource library. As a high school history teacher, I need to get answers and do research nearly every day. I don't have the time to spend in the library, and I can't afford all the books. Wikipedia is my first choice because of its ease of use. Many of my colleagues like to bash Wikipedia as "unreliable." They don't know what I know about Wikipedia - yet. It's as reliable as the Wikipedia user community can make it, which means it's crammed full of articles whose contributors included experts in every field from every part of the globe the internet can reach. What's more, Wikipedia is continually improving because it's built around the idea that everybody knows something; the whole community is part of the system of creating, editing, and monitoring the development of articles. I tell the naysayers that if they refuse to use Wikipedia, they're passing up the greatest FREE compendium of knowledge ever created. }} |
