I am pre-doctoral student in anthropology and sociology. I joined Wiki to comment on erroneous content and fill in the blanks on subjects that I would have found helpful. Hopefully others will benefit from the time and effort that contributers put into expanding this site.

As a user, Wikipedia is a great source for general information. Although caution and spectulation is necessary, Wiki can help you get enough of an understanding of a subject that you can search for more specific information. Plus, the article sources are goods starting points for finding more resources.

I have a friend who downloaded the entire Wikipedia onto a series of disks and buried them in time capsules around the USA.
