The Wikipedia
Five years ago I made a tiny little joke about Wikipedia in a fic and people in the fandom still use it when referring to Wikipedia. Wikipedia also appeared earlier in the fic in a scene that it turned out people really liked. And I love Wikipedia.
It makes me mad when people say it's not a good source. They don't understand the vast mechanism behind the scenes. I'd like to get more into Wikipedia editing. Helping out. I donate. Because I want it to stick around.
