Most helpful website/app on the internet and I'm sure a lot of people can agree. Everyone knows what Wikipedia is. Love it. Donate to it. It ain't cheap to upkeep and gives us so much good info.
★★★★★Russ J King· May 13, 2026
A very useful source of information that is readable & cross-referenced for those wanting to find out facts rather than opinions. Great care is taken to limit opinionated articles and any unreferenced statements are flagged as such. Wikipedia is a very good first choice for finding out facts quickly and clearly - I mostly use it for medical topics & computer terminology. They are non-profit-making and ask users for small contributions. Given the breadth of knowledge they are worth supporting.

Wikipedia is ANTIFA's base of left-wing propaganda sites & double standard anti-white peoples, there is many editor, scientist and scholar has Anti-any religious bias so-called "myth" who support modern myth of darwinism "Out of Africa" the evolutionary racism is a pseudoscience as their ideological tools secular agenda of Marxist atheism, also too many politicians labelled as fascist far-right than leftist. Don't trust Anti-religious secular history propaganda machines, Larry Sanger are correct!
★★☆☆☆Leo· Jun 11, 2026
Wikipedia in terms of searching and reading for information and all that was really great... however when I tried having a career on Wikipedia the first time as a Wikipedia, it was awful! My Very First day was July 17, 2025, however, I didn't get a chance, I only lasted until August 17 when I was banned permanently looks like it. Administrators were nothing but rude to me, reverted my first edits, blocked me 3 times when I was explaining my stress, and alot more. I hate this app's behavior.

New UI suck. There is no way to access Wikipedia homepage anymore. New "feed" type ui don't show everything you can see on Wikipedia's homepage. Lost features such as random article. Please, at least add one of those "modules" to simply access website homepage.
★☆☆☆☆Paul Gkogkos· Jun 8, 2026
Too much propaganda and politicized content. They block accounts that try to change information on various issues. And they let accounts do aggressive manipulation of information. I think also that the ones responsible for regulating the access remain anonymous. This is neither a free encyclopedia nor one that aims for objectivity. That is why the previous co-founder of Wikipedia has fairly exposed the systematic issues of Bias. And AIs training on it. Pure disaster
