Wow, you guys are much classier than I am. I've just been hitting Google's "cached" links for Wikipedia today.

Thanks, I think I'll be going down some Wikipedia holes this afternoon.

I did not realize how much I used Wikipedia until now. I've run into the page four times in 20 minutes (reverted to google cache to get what I needed). I'll make it a challenge for me not to block it with noscript.

It's nice to see someone actually using the site a little before proclaiming "Wikipedia already has a search, so their site is fail." So thank you. :)

Very nice! Thanks for sharing that. I look forward to spending many afternoons scrolling infinitely through Wikipedia.

Yeah - Both of you got my up. I too like Wikipedia - and its chock a block full of good stuff - so it seems some folk have taken the time to learn the rules and add to collective knowledge contained within.

This is cool. I love reading Wikipedia so this will enable my habit.

I’m so thankful for Wikipedia. It’s the best part of the internet in my opinion.

Just opening wikipedia pages.

Wikipedia does at least preserve history.

jhatemyjob | karma 38 | avg karma 0.11 · | 2023-08-23 20:15:12

Congrats, you can skim Wikipedia

drraid0 | karma 33 | avg karma 1.32 · | 2017-09-27 16:39:55+00:00

Where's your Wikipedia page then?

systemvoltage | karma 9933 | avg karma 2.22 · | 2023-02-04 01:32:17

And yet you link to entire Wikipedia pages yourself?

attatae | karma 4 | avg karma 0.5 · | 2013-12-06 22:50:47+00:00

Wikipedia. Google.

marginalia_nu | karma 21123 | avg karma 4.08 · | 2023-12-31 09:22:53

Ah, I downrank Wikipedia pretty hard :P

patrickg | karma 770 | avg karma 2.36 · | 2012-07-13 15:32:11

Nobody mentions wikipedia? I think this is one best sites for understanding historical things (amongst others of course).

jer0me | karma 1085 | avg karma 6.1 · | 2022-12-23 15:09:32

Cool, 38.7k no-context Wikipedia articles.

yawgmoth | karma 496 | avg karma 2.08 · | 2013-09-26 13:36:54+00:00

I have not, that's pretty interesting. Looks like I have some browsing to do between Wikimapia and Findery.

Thanks, guys/gals.
