I go to wiki just to read up about stuff. I'm not in school anymore, so I don't do that much research. When I am curious to learn about something, I look it up on wiki right away.

i usually search articles when i am in need of any article or information. wikipedia helps me greatly during those times. i am much satisfied with wikipedia always. very rarely i try other sites for my needed information.
and i am happy to say that i donated 10 dollars for them!

I use Wikipedia just for fun. I doubt I would be able to easily find a teacher or school that would allow students to use Wikipedia as one of their sources. Of course I think it's an understandable reason, as much as I love Wikipedia. After all, anyone and their mother can update articles on Wikipedia so long as they have an account.

Our school here doesn't like the children using the internet as a resource for studies but if they have to then make it a reliable source which wiki isn't. It is made by anyone and at times I have seen things that were wrong. So for quick info that isn't really important fine, but if it was for something important I would find another source for sure.

I've used Wikipedia loads lately.
I was making some word searches for my kids. They chose lots of topics, and I had to find lots of words for those topics to make into a word search.
These topics were things like Power Rangers Jungle Fury - where I needed all the character names, or High School Musical songs.
I love it, you don't always need 100% accuracy, sometimes you just need a lot of information quickly - and I have been very lucky that the information I have needed has always been accurate.

I use wikipedia for general information along with imdb
However i also use wikipedia for my job to confirm details, but wikipedia is just a first call, i obviously need to back it up with other sites.
wikipedia is handy for general knowledge but anything more than that you need to search deeper. but good site overall

Well, I don't like Wiki, due to the fact that anyone can edit any articles. That's why I usually find other websites to back up whatever information Wiki has.
