 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Despite what some say, Wikipedia has its uses |
Sadly, some people are quite viciously anti-Wikipedia. Some educational institutions (at all levels) persist in banning or explicitly discouraging its use, as do some countries.
