Are there any other websites of info besides Wikipedia PLEASE?!?

My teacher told me that using wikipedia for projects at school are banned because Wiki is fake. Anyone can put false things in Wikipedia. Do you guys know any other websites?

google the stuff

google

uh duh...google the ****!

ask.com is a good web site and just put in help and you should be helped out pretty much!

The best thing to do is to go to Google, click on More, and go down to Scholar. This will give you results from refereed journals, which are usually papers published by PhDs. Often these articles are free and contain more knowledge and fresh innovation than you can find in books.

if you can use wikipedia you could always google what your looking for or go to aj.com

about.com is great for articles on just about everything. webmd.com is good for medical things.

I like Encarta.

encyclopedia.com
Also, if you go to Wikipedia, there are "source" links that will take you to other links about your topic.
Your teacher is nuts though, wikipedia rules! It's generally very reliable.

encarta online.. google...if you go to wikipedia; they actually have the stated sources. So just click the little # by the sentence or statement or scroll to the bottom and read the source.

Haha or you could OPEN A B O O K . <GASP>

Yes! http://www.citizendium.org http://www.suite101.com are both good...also go to http://www.google.com/groups and "browse all group categories" and you will find dialogues among folks (something like the question-answer here, but ongoing)

Yes, there are several. One being Encyclopedia Britannica
and Grolier Encyclopedia and World Book Encyclopedia which usually require you to belong to your local library or your local library to belong to them.

Go to www.howstuffworks.com.
I always visit this website when i want to know how anything works?

I hate people like your teacher. I'm listed as an author on several upcoming medical publications, and they're all bullshit. Just because thousands of people review, crosscheck, and discuss wikipedia posts, doesn't mean they are less credible. In fact, the opposite is probably true.

In a more constructive light, the best wikipedia sites have links at the bottom generally listing primary sources, and other published sources.

information please almanac
farmers almanac
the Encyclopedia Brittania

wiki articles will ususally have SOURCES. click on the sources and use those links instead.

I use most of these sites every day or several times a week. These are not in any particular order.

wiki has a lot of opinions masquerading as facts
even the founder of wikipedia says it is not to be trusted, as anyone can enter anything.
as a class project we once had to go into wikepedia and change entries, and write false biographies about members of the class, showing they had PhD degrees in all sorts of weird subjects, and saying they had things like 14 wives and 387 children. then at the end of the school year we had to look them up and see if they were still there,and they were
I always use ask.com. seems like every time use google it goes to wikipedia.
dogpile is good because it gets all of them together

All the above answers are good... there are alot of good encyclopedia sources online...
BUT... as much of a pain in the butt as it is, its better to go to the library (I know, I probably hate going to the library to do research as much as the next person, and prob just as much as you do- Id rather poke myself in the eye with a red hot iron). Its worth it tho- especially if you are one of the few who actually took the initiative to go to the library and look at even one book, your teacher might just give you a better grade than those who just did research online.
Just think about it... plus, the teacher might see you in a better light, and take it easier on you in the future just cuz youre a "good student"

Use reputable magazines, newspapers, etc. or you can
use what we used before there were computers...the library.

wiki is good ... but u can use encarta 'n compare

It depends, try encarta encyclopaedia, or google your answer, always check your results with at least another site. If your teacher says anyone can put info on wiki that's true, but anyone can put info on a website they can make.

So... if you wanna get your facts right then check whatever info you have with another source. If it's wrong check with another. :-)

Use Wikipedia anyway and just cite the sources listed in the Wikipedia article instead. If your teacher believes that about Wikipedia, he/she is either ignorant or simply doesn't like Wikipedia's NPOV policy (from my experience, those are the reasons for Wikipedia critics to hold their views). Wikipedia is actually of far superior quality and accuracy to Encyclopedia Britannica (Wikipedia has far more articles and is far more open to different points of view). Every Wikipedia vandal is either caught pretty quickly (usually within 15 minutes) or the article is simply not read by anybody (that's why the false information about Seigenthaler stuck for so long because it would have been removed if anybody had read it).

Your teacher can't prove that you used Wikipedia if you just use it anyways and it is definitely a far more reliable source of information than any teacher who would say something like that.

if you want to know how to do something go to wikihow.com I've really learned a lot from it. I've tried the stuff just the way it said and now I leared how to do something really cool

you could use yahoo answers!

i dont think so wiki is fake, its very very guniune
