Reading: About Wikipedia

About Wikipedia goes over what Wikipedia is and how you can make the best use of it. It explains how to explore Wikipedia, like using the seach box to find articles. It also goes over basic navigation like how all Wikipedia articles are linked or cross-referenced. How to use Wikipedia is also covered and the strengths, weaknesses, and article quality within Wikipedia. This can be helpful since a lot of skeptics out there saying all information is false and void. In the article quality section it goes over how anyone can post and how people can vandalize the articles, but it goes over what they do to try and prevent that.
