Wikipedia. So...how accurate is it?

Wikipedia is my Nr.1 page when I want to get an overview on a certain topic. There are several topics or questions that pop up in my head, for which I want to investigate it further. A few years ago, I didn't bother any longer, since I didn't want to waste my time searching with Google or reading books. But Wikipedia is just a click away and when I type in the word of my interest I get a nice and comprehensive article in almost all cases.

Wikipedia is also perfectly suited for niche topics like animes or games. There are various animes and RPGs that are inspired of classical topics of history, fiction or religion (for example, the origin of Count Dracula in Hellsing or Planet Styx in Star Ocean 3, which origin lies in greek mythology), which gets you firstly more involved with the actual stories and you have a better understanding and secondly it's always good for general education.
In that case, Wikipedia has made my life easier on a certain degree.

Wikipedias weakness are topics like politics, philosophy or religion where you have various opposing sides that edit each others' articles. It's especially annoying in times of election, there you have to get your hands off Wikipedia because you don't know if one statement about a party is true or if it's maliciously altered by another one.

How ya doing, buddy?
