Wikipedia is my favorite way of learning about stuff. I find it's more informative than the dictionary or a regular encyclopedia, especially because it includes newer, culturally significant info (like, say, internet phenomenons) far before an encyclopedia would think to include the same.

Wiki is my buddy. Seriously, since I've discovered it I use it about four times a week. I'm always curious about certain things and Wiki teaches me in like five minutes, lol. Whoever came up with the site is a genius. All of the information you could ever want is right there.

Yes, I've benefited from Wikipedia use. So far I've enjoyed its physics-related articles--they've really helped me back when I took physics last year. In general, Wikipedia offers a nice overview for certain topics. There are topics that I wish had more accurate research put into them so that I can actually trust it as a source.
I don't usually search for meanings of words with Wikipedia though--with that I tend to use online dictionaries (like dictionary.com or Merriam-Webster's)
