It is arguably the best overall source of information humankind has ever created. And that is not hyperbole, it's a fact.
Is it ALWAYS accurate or unbiased? Of course not, nothing is.
But name me another comprehensive source of information which is less biased and more accurate overall. I use it more than any other single thing on the internet.

Help keep it alive...

p.s. to teo:  I know wiki is not as good as infowars.com.  Nothing is as good as inforwars.com.
But infowars is funded by t-shirt and water purifier sales,  it doesn't need the three buck donation.

I like it because there's diligence to use reliable source... sometimes you can learn much more about a subject on the talk page where the discussion and editing take place. There's certainly a left bias... but if you prove your point they must cave.

This is the wikipedia page for,  yes,  wikipedia.

This is how it starts out...

A 2005 survey of Wikipedia published in Nature based on a comparison of 42 science articles with Encyclopædia Britannica found that Wikipedia's level of accuracy approached Encyclopædia Britannica '​s, and both had similar low rates of "serious errors".[13] Critics have stated that Wikipedia exhibits systemic bias, and that its group dynamics hinder its goals. Most academics, historians, teachers and journalists reject Wikipedia as a reliable source of information for being a mixture of truths, half truths, and some falsehoods,[14] and that as a resource about controversial topics, Wikipedia is notoriously subject to manipulation and spin.[15] Wikipedia's Consensus and Undue Weight policies have been repeatedly criticised by prominent scholarly sources for undermining freedom of thought and leading to false beliefs based on incomplete information.[16][17][18][19] The casual reader is not aware of these controversial policies because he/she assumes Wikipedia has no restrictions on freedom of information.[20] The Academic Integrity at MIT handbook for students at Massachusetts Institute of Technology states: "Wikipedia is Not a Reliable Academic Source: The bibliography published at the end of the Wikipedia entry may point you to potential sources. However, do not assume that these sources are reliable – use the same criteria to judge them as you would any other source. Do not consider the Wikipedia bibliography as a replacement for your own research."[21]

Name me any other information source on the internet (or anywhere else for that matter) which freely presents the criticisms of it on it's own front page.

The same could and has been said for reality.

Hopefully the concept of "reality" is not dependent on left vs right politics.
If it is, then reality has become nothing but a sick twisted experience.

Nah, just a reflection of the fact that right-wingers, for the most part, are habitual, serial liars.

Pffft... collectivist think is promoted in education from the earliest age possible. It's an old and effective tactic.

I know,  Sal.  It's your religion.  Your deity is left-wing politics and your concept of a devil is anything which questions it.
Harry Reid is your pastor and Nancy Pelosi gives you the communion.
