Today I had to go to a lecture about how to do research. The best part was when the instructor told us that Wikipedia is a really good source, especially to find out about original research. I always use Wikipedia, but until today I thought it as an unsanctioned activity, and I would visit the sources at the bottom of the page. But now I know that Wikipedia really is my best friend.
I've always said using Wikipedia is like asking your really smart friend something. He knows a lot but is wrong sometimes and if you ask him how he knows something he might not remember where he heard it.
