Disambiguation

It's a good thing that you're not allowed to use Wikipedia to help write papers for school... because with how easily I get sidetracked, I'd never get around to actually doing the paper.

Do any of you get so lost in Wikipedia that you forget why you went there in the first place until you go back until you see what it was?

Wikipedia or How to lose an hour and not even know it!

Believe it or not I usually find Wikipedia a bit tedious. And I know I will be scoffed at, but I never really trust all the facts since it's just regular people writing what they know.

Thats exactly why you're not allowed to use Wikipedia to write your paper, because a lot of it is regular people writing whatever they want.

But, a good thing about SOME Wiki sites, is that you can see their source of information, and use those sites as credible sources of information.

But, I too get lost on Wikipedia, especially the Tri-Cities page lol

The very first time I went to Wikipedia I wound up following a bunny trail for about three hours, and until I finally shut the window and saw the original email that had sent me there in the first place, I had honestly forgotten what I was looking at to begin with.

And oddly enough, I killed a couple hours on the Tri-Cities page and its various offshoots as well!
