(38,506 posts)5. Some of their articles are good
Others are incomplete. I like the ones about different countries. Those tend to be better.

Or just to get an overview of a subject.
Separation
(1,975 posts)9. Sometimes for hours.
I'll be watching a show say, something about Ancient Greece. Then ill end up clicking on a link from that article, and on, and on, and on, and end up at something that has nothing to do with my original curiosity.

(154,021 posts)13. Ah the real meaning of life

(39,405 posts)15. Wikipedia is only as reliable as the supporting link for any bit of information
though in many other venues, even that is not available.
Lurks Often
(5,455 posts)16. Those damn hyperlinks in the articles!
