a great site for reference: Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a great site for reference. It is a site where people can post information about any topic they wish. Some say that the information on the site is faulty because it can be posted and edited by anyone. But by my experience almost all of the information on the site is genuine. One of the best things about it is that it is partially opinion based. This allows personal experiences to be shared. And since anyone can post stuff, there is nearly an article on everything. On a normal encyclopedia there are only select topics on wikipedia, everyone contributes. There are also some specific encyclopedias devoted to specific topics. Topics like Halo, Spore, Eragon and Dragonball Z. Many people use wikipedia for their everyday enlightenment needs. Things like projects, essays, and homework use wikipedia. In a nutshell, wikipedia is an all purpose awesome encyclopedia.
