4 of 5Yes, it's true that anyone can post anything. Some will say "how can anything be trusted?" while others will say "how can you not trust it?" DBGA recommends Wikipedia highly with one critical caveat: when doing research it must not be the only source used. There are marvelous teachable moments created when students are taught to triple check their sources.

The king of the wikis! A popular, far-reaching encyclopedia-style wiki useful as one source (but not the only source) of solid information.
Possible uses:
Usable in every way that any encyclopedia can be used - as long as all information is cross-checked/triangulated with other sources.
