Is wikipedia a reliable resorce?
Yes, I think it's reliable, especially considering science matters (which I have studied the most). If your question refers to propaganda as well, then I really don't know...
I agree. Wikipedis is a reliable source of info it's just that people think it isn't because anyone can edit it. It's true that it can be edited by anyone but they all think its a terrible website because of this.
i agrre and disagree with this. i agree because most of the time it is reliable. i disagree because as you said everybody can edit it so if someone knew nothing about the subject can still edit it and put bogus information.
Nupedia started as a website that was found by Jimmy Wales. Wikipedia was a side project of this website in 2001. Wikipedia was designed to be a collaboration of facts before eit was to be reviewed by people.
Who is the founder of Iceland?
Ingolf Arnarson, or Ingólfur Arnarson in modern Icelandic, was the first confirmed Norseman to permanently settle Iceland in 874 AD.
By 930 AD most arable land was considered claimed, and Iceland was first founded as a state then, with the founding of the national parliament. But the parliament was founded by a number of people, so I don't think you can claim there is a single founder of Iceland..

Is 'Wikipedia' collective intelligence and why?
No, because Wikipedia does not think, it does not make any decisions. Those who do, the people who work together to enhance Wikipedia, are the collective intelligence, and Wikipedia is their collective knowledge.
Is WikiAnswers related to Wikipedia?
WikiAnswers uses a modified form of the MediaWiki software that Wikipedia also uses, so editing on one site is very similar to editing on the other.
However, Answers.com - the parent site of WikiAnswers - does include content from Wikipedia.
So what exactly is Wikipedia?
It is a wiki-encyclopedia, containing pages written by the public as accurately as possible to serve as a free, "open-source" encyclopedia. Wikipedia gives an all-out definition with extreme accuracy and many, many paragraphs of information, while WikiAnswers allows users to answer a specific question, the 'human' side of the answer, so it is defined well enough for the asker to get the information they want right away, rather than sift through pages of information.

Are there senior users on 40 mgs who experience nausea and if so have they found a remedy?
I had the nausea for awhile,I was told to try taking 20 mgs morning & 20 mgs at night, This stopped the nausea for me! Hope this helps
The nausea caused by Strattera can be eased by taking it with food AND milk (even though the leaflet says it is not necessary). Wait about 10 minutes after eating before taking the medication. In my case, the nausea passed by the third week.
Because they tell you about what your looking up but in a random order and the simplest of searches they can't find they just give results which are completely different to cover their failure
