Thing 8: Wikis
Wikis are very interesting. I enjoyed entering info on the Library's wiki but being skeptical, I would be a leary of using a wiki for definitive concrete information. I guess I wouldn't trust that the info would be correct since I really don't know the source and, as I understand it, information could be changing all the time.

That's an interesting point, and something that should be considered any time you're dealing with wikis.
Another thing to consider is that the wiki software saves a complete record of every change that has been made to a particular page, and who made those changes. You can see this by clicking on the "history" tab on most wikis. Sometimes the history of a given page is even more interesting than what's on the page itself!
