Hi,
I am Joost Ringoot.
Being a part-time student, I find Wikipedia a very useful source for finding and sharing information.
- Sigh: I wish linking was automagic in Wikipedia
Alas many teachers find Wikipedia articles are an unreliable source to mention in projects as a reference.
It is a fact that Wikipedia is not fault-proof. But I believe that this could improve a lot by more involvement of academic staff in the project.
Researchers please put your research results on-line in Wikipedia!
Being a full-time employed IT-engineer I find Wikipedia very useful for looking up info quickly and better organised than using a search engine.
Starting at Wikipedia one can dig deeper into info via internal links or external references to people and companies more closely involved in the concerning subject.
And best of all, it's free and open!
So a big "thumbs up" for Wikipedia!
