    This site is about libertarian ideas, politics, economics, government, freedom, property rights, entrepreneurship, innovation, objectivty and other such stuff important to humans. I uphold libertarian principles and believe wholeheartedly in minimal government, or no government if it would work -- this blog explains why.

    Is Wikipedia Reliable? I Find Myself Using It More And More

    DateMonday, April 7, 2008 at 09:22AM

    When I first heard of Wikipedia, I had my doubts, but I'm beginning to believe it can work with constant oversight and corrections. I don't know if I would use it yet for a totally reliable source -- but as a base for information and a quick reference quide it's proven invaluable -- like a lot of the internet, you should always have salt available.

    The incredible thing about it is the organic growth of information. It's amazing to watch it evolve.

    Accuracy Disputes

    One thing it does is challenge you to think and not take everything written as the gospel, to interactively challenge what's been written.
