When I first heard the concept behind Wikipedia, I have to admit I had my doubts, but I'm a believer now. Any questions I run into, be they regarding the history of the English Monarchy or Hartree-Fock Theory, I turn to Wikipedia. Just a tremendous tool. I used to use Mathworld for equations and theorems, but I found that site too technical, whereas the Wiki would be much more approachable.
For those of you who don't know, Wikipedia is a publically authored online encyclopedia. In other words, almost anyone can add a article. Wikipedia's english site has over 700 thousand articles on every subject you can imagine (including Wikipedia).
Density Functional Theory - Check
Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus - Check
Mansun (Obsure British Band From 90's)- Check
This Side of Paradise - Check
It's nearly impossible to stump Wikipedia, and I find the articles to be well written and accurate. Unfortunately, their site can be a little slow at times and is not very forgiving of misspellings. Still, I have found Wikipedia to be a valuable tool.
