Tom Kelly this is how I functioned throughout my years in school. There is something so useful and user friendly about most wiki articles. I usual get most of the bigger picture info from wiki and just slap on a few of the references I never really read. Then just glaze over legitimate sources to make sure the wiki info more or less checked out.

The fact that Wikipedia works is truly one of the miracles of life.

1. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It is an open source encyclopedia. 2. The reason Wikipedia will never be acceptable as an academic source is because of how susceptible it is to temporary vandalism. it can be edited by anyone and it can take a while for vandalism to be found, making it by nature not 100% reliable. That's why you should use Wikipedia articles as a jumping off point to do your actual research using the linked sources at the bottom of the article. Your teachers aren't wrong on this one, and it's not just Wikipedia, the same applies to any open source information. Acceptable sources should be peer reviewed BEFORE being posted publicly not after as is the case for Wikipedia.

One tip for everyone who wants to use Wikipedia as a serious source of information rather than just an introduction of a subject is to check it's sources, most of Wikipedia info is catalogued on sources displayed at the end of the page and many times you will notice that several pieces of information you see in an article come from very biased or incorrect sources, and many of the ''volunteers'' will be fierce in imposing those sources for personal reasons.

Often the debates that go on in articles are the most valuable part as you really understand the contention in the subject. Read, question, research. Follow the references. Understand the limitations of studies. Any reference to a study will have the same problem. Learn a bit about bias and statistics. Understand political sides etc.

If you need to quickly check a bit of information, then wikipedia's good (i.e what is the capital of X or what genus is Y part of) but I wouldn't recommend for full research.

Thanks everyone! I am one of youngest contributor, glad everyone enjoy using Wikipedia!

Wikipedia has a 16 categories page about... Wikipedia

... uh... wikipedia themselves say not to use wikipedia, however they have also changed who has the ability to edit, it is no longer "everyone" you have to go through a process, which I agree with

You forgot to mention how Wikipedia requires/highly recommends using citations. It will even show an alert for articles that potentially use original information.

Most of the comments in this video are teachers.

Just look at the sources

i think you edit your video using powerpoint

You got me

49 people thought this video was so good that the thumb got turned upside-down.

Wikipedia is the ultimate, overly detailed dictionary.

I can't wait until this channel explodes and I get to say I was one of the first 70,000 subscribers.

Techincaty the Internet itself is a bigger Collection of Human Knowledge lol

About Wikipedia Vandalism, on the Dutch page of League of Legends, someone changed the infobox title to 'League of Gaylords (for gay people)'.

Tibe That Guy in Nintendo wiki someone edited the wiki to make the Mii page about a 'XXX Toy' and someone banned him, I got inspired and made another template about that.

I’ve been banned from editing until 1st of June 2022 😔

Cleverjoseph why did you get banned? Not related but on Apple wiki it has the nicest Admin I've seen and everytime I do something wrong (like using copyrighted photos) she bans me for two hours! How crazy is that?
