Whenever I google a topic and it shows up in a Wikipedia entry I seem to go there first. I know there can be discrepancies and even opinions within, but it gives me a quick overview of whatever or whoever I am looking for. The major drawback is there can be opinion (truthiness), nonfactual or even deliberate malicious material inserted and how is the viewer to know. For more detailed research a visit to the local library with its vast offer of published tomes can usually verify or even refute the Wikipedia entries. But Wikipedia has, at the very least, narrowed my search. What I was unaware of was the many wikis available and I hope to check out more of these. I will definitely return to the ones with a library connection.
