Getting Information

In my personal experiences, the only time I have seen tension or conflict between different types of knowledge and learning was in relation to Wikipedia. I have never before used the discussion portions of Wikipedia, and I did not know they existed until very recently. I find it is more useful to obtain information from authoritative sources because the acquisition of that information is often more straight forward. It makes it easier for me when there is no question as to the origin or legitimacy of the information I am trying to find.
