There is simply no more instant, consensus-driven information available on this planet than Wikipedia. My Encyclopedia Brittanicas, even though they span over 7 feet in width are rendered minuscule compared to this wiki’s knowledge and/or collaborative content. Finally, we have a resource that brings many talented minds together. The imperative to form our own opinions about what we read has not change since hieroglyphics; so whatever critics dole out to manufacture doubt about Wikipedia is simply out-of-step. As wikis go (a collaborative web platform), Wikipedia transcends all. And still this rich resource and its thin staff manage to moderate to ensure as up-to-date and reliable information as possible. “Knowledge triples every three years”, they say. Wikipedia can keep up with this thirst for knowledge.
