Wikipedia Reviews Summary
The overall sentiment towards the company reveals a divided reputation.

However, significant concerns arise regarding perceived biases in content, particularly on politically sensitive topics, leading to accusations of misinformation and editorial manipulation. Customers also note challenges with the editing process and moderation, which some find restrictive. This feedback suggests a need for improved transparency and neutrality in content management to enhance trust and credibility among users.

It revolutionized the information industry. Basic information about just about anything can be accessed quickly. It also gives people without the proper credentials, an opportunity to prove themselves (write, author articles, create logos, familiarized with copyright rules).
This site is a life saver, I use it often. Even though people add or edit the info, most of the time it is accurate.
I had to get one star off, as the professors on my college didn't approve some of my papers where I cited Wiki as a secondary source.
Otherwise, ver, VERY informative site!
I really love this website, although my teachers never want us to use it for research, because "anyone can change it and it might not be accurate" and so on... but its accurate 99% of the time, and you can find almost anything on this website. Very useful website.
An excellent website which has no competition with other websites providing information online. Whenever I want to have information about any topic I access wikipedia and it always returned valuable and to the point information.
Obviously Wikipedia.org is a safe and a enjoyable browsing experience. I find Wikipedia.org a great start when looking for information. However as some have mentioned, anyone can edit these pages. Thus it can be biased and not based entirely on the truth. Ask most universities and they will almost always tell you not to use Wikipedia.org as a source. But again, don't doubt the site. It is a great starting point during research.
Wikipedia is a Great online free content encyclopedia. Can be edit and create new pages and publish articles, contents about a person, site, business or even word. Excellent place to find any information's.
Whats not to love about Wikipedia.org? A online encyclopedia to refer to almost anything and everything possible. At many times searching is a breeze and obtaining available info in a jiffy is great.
Site is always well maintained and supported. Reading along and finding out new and exciting things is also a great place for this site. Always reliable and contains in many cases lots of facts.
Reviews on some articles or publications are made to insure that publicist are actually posting facts. Which bring me to the conclusion most info on the site is accurate.
I use it all the time! They have an article on almost everything. I would say the most complete version humanities collective knowledge on the web.
One of the best and most well written sites on the internet. Anyone can add an article, or change an existing one. Amazingly, virtually all articles are very well written and informative. Very useful for general knowledge about almost anything you can think of.
Has some of the best and most widely used reference on the Web, but watch out for vandalism - when some idiot tries to put spam in a page. The vandalism is fixed quickly though. Not a 4-star site because of Vandalism. Still one of the best sites of the World Wide Web.
P.S. Remember to check out it's sister projects too! They are quite interesting.
Who doesn't ref wiki, i use it a lot like a lot a lot LOL it's content and ability to be accurate has of lately come under question. Thats not good. We need wiki to be top notch. Long live wiki.
I use this site everyday. It provides reliable information on every topic. It is always up to date and accurate. I wish that I had the internet and a website like this when I was a kid. This site is very easy to navigate. I have it bookmarked on my favorite list!
My absolute favorite website of all time, where you can find information on just about anything. Nothing much much to say except "Heart Heart Heart."
This is good for getting information on almost anything. It is good to also get the year a specific song came out. It doesn't always have the song you are looking for and sometimes you have several steps to getting that information and some reading to get to it. It is a reliable website that you don't have to worry about getting a virus / worm / trojan like if you make the mistake of clicking on songfacts, which puts an extremely high risk infection on your computer system!
I don't believe wikipedia hasn't been reviewed yet - but it doesn't come up on my site Jabber addon!
I love Wikipedia for general reference, finding the smallest detail, squashing a squabble over something silly and looking up how the latest TV series/ movie you're watching ends or just adding to your general trivial knowledge - Wikipedia has it all.
Just don't reference or quote it.
It's not a reliable source or quotable person!
While not being a replacement for traditional encyclopedias, Wikipedia.com is a great place for people to be able to look up information on a variety of topics and to gain the general understanding if different topics. They provide access to different references where more information can be obtained, fun facts, and useful information for students and scholars alike.
Their website has already paved the way for new forms of internet technology that allow for users to edit the content of a website and collaborate to come up with the correct information. Wikipedia is edited by the people for the people and is an example of a democratic website that is working.
I really like Wikipedia. People have a problem with it because it can be changed or altered by others. But they have to have links to information that backs up their additions. If they do not they will have time to find them or it'll be removed. This is far better than any encyclopedia book. Why? Because this information can be altered for corrections or updated on the spot. It gives information to the people and helps them understand certain things better.
I think that it's one of the best sites to ever be created because it furthers people's understanding of certain things. I like that it has to be written without bias. It's a fantastic site for information on many different topics.
I trust this site. Dispite popular believe, WIkipedia is reliable. If anything false is put up there, depending on how popular it is, it will be removed or classified as "Sorce Needed". All in all they are truthful.
There is a reason my Composition professor banned us from using Wikipedia for our papers; anybody can add/edit information to the pages without registering or without citing sources
An example would be when Comedian Artie Lange was reported to have died on his Wikipedia page. He is alive and well.
