I guess it is helpful.

Encyclopedias are meant to just give basic, general information on a subject, and then they have citations for sources just in case you want to find out more.

Another thing is that Wikipedia is editable by *anyone*, and sometimes the articles that are created are biased or something. For example, if you wanted to do a research paper about the recent fiasco with bass and xk, you probably wouldn't want to base your information solely on the AcmlmWiki.

But anyway, what's with all the sudden hate for Wikipedia? I go there a lot to look up some stuff I don't know occasionally. It's useful.

Drag: At the same time, sometimes I find that Wikipedia is the best place to start when I'm researching something. It actually happened that I mentioned it as a source, but alongside several others non-encyclopedian ones.

There's some people really against Wikipedia out there, but most of them seems to be uhm... disgruntled encyclopedia writers.

Wikipedia and Google are two sites I rely on for a lot of things

That's a perfectly acceptable way to use an encyclopedia. I'm just saying, the information in an encyclopedia should NEVER be the *only* information you use. At least one of the non-encyclopedia sources should be used as well if you're planning on seriously doing a research paper or something.
