Caught an article somewhere this morning, I think it was at Neowin.net, saying that the Wikipedia was over one million articles now.

 

I guess my biggest complaint about Wikipedia would be that it could use Google's bad spelling fixer. I've lost track of the number of times I've failed to find something in the Wikipedia, gone over to Google, and found the first entry from Google's search results to be an article in the Wikipedia (spelled correctly). (hehe)

 

Google is usually my first stop, but lately it's becoming my first stop *after* Wikipedia.

or...a library...or encyclopedia...or e-mail with scientists that are prominent in the scientific community
