Yeah, JoA is right. I made up a wiki page about a friend and it was gone within 20 minutes, wtf.

If you have firefox (And why don't you?) you can use bookmarks to search. How?

Take a site you want to search on, like, google. A typical google url will look like this:

http://www.google.com/search?q=wikipedia

bookmark this. then go to properties of the bookmark and replace "wikipedia" with "%s." then set the keyword to something like "g." whenever you type in "g wikipedia" in the address bar, it'll search on google.

there's an easier way to do it: right-click in a search box on a web site, then click the option to create a search keyword. this feature is in the opera 9 beta as well.

Well, there are rules on place that limit the misinformation. Things have to have citations and, if they don't, they're marked. Vandalism can be stopped by locking a page from anonymous or new users. etc.

It's not like wikipedia pages just say a bunch of information. there are outside links, citations, a discussion of the topic, etc.

JofA - I basically trust most of the stuff I read on Wiki. And I also, for the most part, have faith in the vigilance of nerds. I'm still sore cause up until I re-edited, the wiki for Chris Kaman talked about how he was the missing link, and a cavemen and [censored] like that. WTF.

It is also not really trustworthy, considering anyone can edit it.
