Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Wikipedia is a widely used platform known for providing extensive information on various topics. While praised for its depth and breadth of content, concerns about reliability, bias, and the open-editing model persist. Some users appreciate its role as a starting point for research, but others criticize its perceived bias and reliance on non-expert contributions. The balance of positive and negative opinions underscores Wikipedia's dual role as both a valuable resource and a subject of skepticism.

This is one of the best examples of what a community can do, with no money interest. Yes, the information itself can't be 100% trusted, but you can gather basic stuff by reading the page, or you can check the reference section for more reliable sources.

I was happy Wikipedia user for years and now they started to spam me with "donate" ads all the time. They recently increased staff dozens of times and this is why they need so much money. They should just fire all those unnecessary staff.

Great for people who just wants to know a surface level knowledge about stuff. And for people who want to dig deeper, it is a massive collection of sources about a specific topic. You want to know about the repression of science in the USSR? Here are ten books about it under the source page. I've heard some people just use the source section in Wikipedia. It's just that useful for everyone.

Arguably one of the greatest achievements in the history of humanity. Reminds me what the Internet can be when used for the common good
