This is a very interactive site that will be very useful for research topics. The only draw-back may be that it has SO much info going in SO many directions that some PG's may never be able to STOP researching!

An outstanding resource -- articles run the gamut of topics. Escpecially helpful are the entries reflecting and describing recent history and current events. Also of note is the fact that Wikipedia recognizes the dubious nature of some sources and the transient nature of what we know as fact and points them out with "disputed" notes on such articles. |
