I saw a great post about a ton of places to get the answers you want about almost anything. A lot of people go right to wikipedia as the authority on a topic. In reality, wikipedia is edited by human editors that may or may not be much of an authority on the topic they are writing about or editing.

Don’t get me wrong. I applaud some of the editors at wikipedia for their dedication and thank them for the volunteer time they put into editing. However, there are some editors who seem to have an agenda and it shows in the entries they edit or delete.

It has led to acknowledgement that wikipedia is not an authority on any topic. It is just a source for “some” information about a topic, enough for most people, but not authoritative enough for researchers who want authoritative information.

When qualified people in a specific field only write about their field on their website, it tends to be much more accurate than the entries in a human edited wiki. Visit the blog post below to see how many great information websites this person links to on their blog.
