    Once, I found some mistakes in some Spanish lessons there and I wondered who made that post, because any Spanish speaker, wouldn't make such mistakes.

    I used wikipedia recently for the Reign of Terror and the Civil Constitution of the Clergy, and they both seemed unbiased, detailed, and accurrate. I guess it is case by case, really.

    Nothing I've ever seen in Wikipedia is wrong, although given that I only look up stuff that I don't already know the answer to, I guess I wouldn't ever know if it was wrong anyway.

    The stuff in wikipedia is non-academic and non-sceintific and for personal purposes I think that it's the greatest one. I am currently uploader there and I'm taking care of much musical pages (I'm a drummer) and books as well.
