there are few things on the internet that got everyone's attention before Facebook, Twitter and WikiLeaks. without Wikipedia or MySpace or eBay, most people still wouldn't know anything about the Internet because almost nothing about the internet was newsworthy for many many years.
and Wikipedia keeps librarians on their toes. we continully search for sources to invalidate Wikipedia and show everyone how much more we know... did any librarian ever do that when confronted with the World Book's incomplete or nonexistent entries? no. but we offered our patrons a second or third source. and that's what we do with Wikipedia.
I love it because the references are really useful for finding primary or root sources for information.
so go visit them now and donate $5 for all Wikipedia has done for librarians.
