That is, if you want information on physics, chemistry, astronomy, computer science, programming, games, mathematics, cryptography, television programs and movies, and so on everything is fine. If you are looking for information on politics, international issues/relations, religion or religious issues, life sciences, basically, anything that is the subject of any significant amount of controversy, Wikipedia falls apart quite badly. That is not to say that all of it is garbage, just that even the self-declared NPOV stance is not sufficient. -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~roberto
