Whenever I come across something that I don't know but want to, I take out my phone, tablet, laptop or go to my home computer and search for the basic information and invariably, I get it from Wikipedia. Even if it is not the last place of reference, the quality process of Wikipedia ensures that there are enough citations which will allow me further research. Wikipedia is an integral part of my life.
As a kid, my parents could not afford the expensive WORLD BOOK, BRITANNICA encyclopedias. But that does not matter anymore. My progeny will always have them and more! Right to information is one of the most remarkable achievement of the modern age which thrives on freedom and Wikipedia is one of the tenet elements enabling that! Great work.
The correctness of information though questionable at times, Wikipedia still is certainly the richest source of information.I will go a step ahead and say, if the correctness is questionable, I can use the various processes (with lots of backs and forths) to give it a good try to correct the information. The infamy is partially my fault because most often, I don't try enough to strengthen the process. Nevertheless as I mentioned above, it is certainly most used and the richest source of information
If you are reading this, I would like to urge you consider supporting Wikipedia.
