The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. One of the several sites in the whole Wikimedia project. The all-knowing site on the Internet. You've got questions, it's got answers. Basically, it's the Internet's equivalent of God.

A unique article-making web site where it has anything. You can make articles, anyone can make articles, talk about the articles you, your friend, or a total stranger, has posted. The disadvantage of anyone can edit/make articles is that anyone can post anything that isn't true. However, Wiki's, or how it's abbreviated, users can report an article to a moderator and they will restore the text ASAP or close to the text. Wikipedia is often not trusted on by schools because of that simple disadvantage.

A source teachers will normally call unreliable cause it can be “changed” even though it is normally monitored 24/7
Teacher: Look for a source online I will not credit you for Wikipedia. Kid: Wikipedia is a reliable source it’s monitored on a daily basis.

By the people, but not necessarily for the people. Attempts to define and explain everything, ideally without writing a book on every topic.
Has the same issues as any other democracy or a place, with group majorities - tribalism and its cultural influence: A place were simps, feminists, bitches, are making their tribal biases/opinions 'scientific', while linking what is pretty much their own blog's shitposts for sources; and nerds are trying to make their hobby/area of expertise articles as unreadable as possible for a commoner.
Has a tendency of throwing you into a rabbit whole of information, when you've already forgotten your initial question and have ended up reading articles on ancient Chinese schools of thought for no reason.

I disagree with that wikipedia article, so I've edited the definition to be a more 'objective representation of reality'. Also I'm undoing all the edits that disagree with me, my majority will prevail!
