* Wikipedia may ''supplement'' a textbook by explaining key concepts, but it does not ''replace'' a textbook.

* Wikipedia is organized as [[hypertext]], meaning that the information you require may not be on one page, but spread over many pages.

* In technical subjects, the material may also be technical: Wikipedia has no restriction on the depth of coverage. The lead section of each article is supposed to give a summary accessible to the [[WP:TECHNICAL|general reader]].

* Wikipedia is a work in progress. Some of our articles are highly polished, while others are in a rougher state. The Wikipedia model relies on volunteers to edit articles, and you're invited to help.
