#16 Wikis..

I have to say I like Wikipedia, primarily because it does a reasonable job of sourcing Web references. We are creatures of our culture, so even the same sentence read by two different people will be taken with different assumptions & interpretations. So really everything is subjective (except maths). However, Wikipedia seems to me to try and go directly to first hand sources and reputable commentary, and kudos to them for that.

However, Im always wary of anonymous or pseudonym publications. If someone is prepared to put their name and reputation on their opinion, I can gauge my respect for that.

There are often added extra references at the bottom of artciles in Wikipedia. I often use these more than the wikipedia article itself.
