I don't know how Wikipedia does it... but, well, it's just crazy. You can search so many things on Google, and Wikipedia comes up first. Proton, electron, neutron, atom, and molecule; all those terms, Wikipedia comes up first. And for the terms God and Jesus Christ; those are both Wikipedia. In fact, both "Jesus" and "Christ" alone as well. It's just crazy. CRAZY.

A spammer's worst nightmare
Wikipedia is gaining respect as a source of information. As a result, Google's pagerank algorithms are going rate it higher. Nothing crazy about it: Wikipedia's just good.

In my school the teachers say we shouldn't use Wikipedia, it is a bunch of misinformation.
Personally, I disagree, I love Wikipedia.

I use the Wikipedia often, while I'm guessing that a lot of information isn't correct the majority of it is.

It is good but when people can edit everything on it, it can turn out untrue. I would be careful.

The scientific articles have been shown to be on par with Britannica. That said, it is NOT a primary source. My wife uses it to find links to primary sources and get an overview of the topic.

Writes binary right handed and hex left handed
Well Wikipedia Rocks! Sometimes, yes you find misleading informations (and even spam articles) but well the majority of the time the information is good, I use it for my projects.

I actually haven't seen spam articles or information there wasn't true, yet.

Well then, you must be a lucky guy. Because I have seen some.. and that's why I have to read the articles before copying and pasting them into my school projects...

Wikipedia has some high-class software that stops spam. One time me and my friend edited something, something really small, in an article, and one minute later it was back the way it was. And it was ONE word. Wikipedia isn't accurate... my ***.

Well sometimes I saw articles with a big yellow box (or something like that) and it had some red text in it, saying that this looked like an advert/spam message, and it said something else I don't remember. So it does contain some misleading articles!

That's not software, that's people who watch the recent changes list.
