Plus somebody removed BTTB from the links on there, because apparently official sites are better places for further research.

They didn't ? :o

I should have said it from the start that wikipedia can not be trusted when it comes to h&a :P (and for the record, I use W on a daily basic :P)

It did. In the newest Firefox version (at least for Mac) you have the search bar at the top right with not only Google, as in the past, but with other search engines as well

Windows Firefox has had that for as long as I can remember. I use it for dictionary.com quite a lot when I need to check a spelling or definition. It's very handy!

And I agree about wiki, it's a great source of info for many things, but I'd say TV shows, religion, or anything contraversial in which opinion is divided and debated, it's not a good source as people will manipulate it.

Use it if you will, but as with everything else, take it with a grain of salt and check the info against other sites. This is the rule one should live by on the net, but it seems that a lot of people are either too naïve or just plain stupid to realize.

GO Merc :D

As to the debate. I have never really used wiki before, so I have no idea how it is.

But I think I will try it out now :P

Hahahahaha!

Wiki is a really good source, especially for bands, as there is a lot of good information on it. The problem is, I can spend hours following links all the time, so I tend to stay away from it unless I am bored.

Television I take with a grain of salt, but bands and other things are quite spot on.
