Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a collaborative effort to collect the sum of human knowledge, thus creating a free-content encyclopedia available in all languages. They are still growing fast, extremely fast in some cases. Encyclopedia Britannica is not amused with Wikipedia's growth and has often claimed the information unreliable, this is true though? Why this amazing popularity? Maybe because we live in a society where we don't necessarily accept answers given by the authority (read: Britannica) and set about creating our own answers, these will be checked/corrected by peers, keeping the whole system in check... just a thought. Companies have noticed the importance of Wikis too. In any case, you can't quote from Wikipedia, since it's always changing... but wait, doesn't this apply to the whole World Wide Web also?
