It's usually the first thing I go to when I want some general info. However, it recently has come under fire for factual inaccuracy. This article compares it to the Encylopedia Britannica:

Conclusion? They're about the same (and Wikipedia is free).

Actually, it was found that the Wiki Articles compared were on average twice as long, so in reality, Wikipedia had fewer mistakes than Britannica.

I think it's a great idea. I just need to pass "Andrew's Law" whereby all people such named are exempt from taxes and can hunt politicians for sport.

Another really good wiki:

A wiki of documentation you probably aren't supposed to see. Tactics in Iraq is particularly interesting.
