The average person knows (or can know) so much more about any given subject than say 20 years ago thanks to Wikipedia

Its honestly the greatest website on the internet

I mean if the source is cited, you can look at the original source.

I translated a Japanese manga from the Japanese language to English

I posted it on Wikipedia. The guy that edits manga removed my translation because it was unofficial

So I posted it on Anime News Network instead. I've never had any problems with Anime News Network

Now I don't like Wikipedia so much, because they only accept "official" manga translations. The manga that I translated, Zombie Hunter, has no official English translation

Wikipedia is good to getting basic information down. Some of their articles are a little behind current scholarship.
