Research (Score 1)

Any discussion of censorship aside, the assertation that you can't do research without Wikipedia is absurd. How am I supposed to do my research now? The same way you would have five years ago, by actually going to the library and doing research. For those arguing that Wikipedia is an invaluable research tool that can't be replaced, clearly you've never written any type of signifigant research paper. In some cases you can use a source such as Wikipedia, but for anything more indepth than a two page paper for a 100 level class, you wouldn't. There are tons of other sites, books, journal articles, etc... that go much more indepth on any given subject. Especially if you're writing a thesis and you're quoting Wikipedia, you seriously need to look at the quality of your research.
