Me
I am currently in my second undergrad year studying psychology at Newman College in Birmingham, England. I started using Wikipedia for a some preliminary research in my university work, and consider it to be about as good as doing a thorough google search for about half an hour to an hour. Whilst some articles are very good, others are much worse and need to be re-written or more thoroughly researched. Thats why I started editing things.
My thoughts on Wikipedia
There is a danger with Wikipedia. As some articles are of a very high quality, it is possible to fall into believing that all of the articles are similarly so, and accept what is written within them as fact. When reading about something I know lots about already I generally find that the articles are fairly accurate, but I am trusting other contributors to Wiki when I read an article which is about something I don't know.
I figure though, that for every vandal, misinformer or just plain ignorant person (who thinks they are correct) there are others who will fix those bad entries. People are more inclined to spend time creating and fixing things than destroying them.
