New Way To Use Wiki
Personally I've always thought of Wikipedia to be a reliable source and definitely one to look to for information when I'm curious about a topic. I can't say that I would use it more often just because I already use it a lot, but I can say I developed a greater appreciation for it. In the past couple weeks I've used Wikipedia as a resource for backing up information in my classes. I have no doubt that it's a reliable source because the information in my textbooks matched what the information in the article stated. I'll probably try to use Wikipedia as a study aid from now on which is something I've never really done before. As for joining the discussion, I can't say for certain I would just because it's not something that interests me at the moment. However, someday I might change my mind and post a few things.

I feel the same way; now that I know there is some filtering before the information makes it to the article, I am more confident that the information I find is accurate. However, I am kind of concerned with the prospect of posting my own things, because the moderators/users seem so keen on shooting down your ideas.
