The online encyclopedia called Wikipedia is a fantastic resource. If you haven’t experienced Wikipedia, go there now! Where have you been? You are missing out!
Wikipedia‘s definition of Wikipedia (brief):
“Wikipedia is a multilingual, Web-based free content encyclopedia project. The name Wikipedia is a blend of the words wiki and encyclopedia. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing most articles to be changed by almost anyone with access to the website...”
My response to the Wikipedia controversy of its authenticity and accuracy is “If your doing a serious research project/paper. always check your sources.” Its common sense drilled into to all of us throughout our academic years. Wikipedia is launching point where information can be found quickly and easily and direct you to further research into creditable sources.
Wikipedia is perfect quick search/info resource for NaNoWriMo writing for when you absolutely need to look up “Geohintonia“ in order to move forward with your writing. Quick search, find, scan, and return to writing.
WARNING: Wikipedia can be addictive or used as a distraction from your novel. Search for what you need and immediately return to your novel or you will be sucked in for hours. I speak from experience.
