Colm O'Regan: 'Browsing Wikipedia is like taking a bus, missing your stop, and waking up in a strange town'

Colm O'Regan: 'For me, Wikipedia is still a rather pleasing throwback to a simpler time on the internet.'

It's 25 years old this year. Old enough to know better. And if you give it a second, it will know better because some other know-it-all will update it. 

It’s Wikipedia. Once seen as a lazy way out, now with the enshittification of the rest of the internet, its reliability has increased.
