So I realised I have been using ai for general search and research. Because it is very appeasing and overly confident it will often frame or make up information. I hoped to get more updated on various social and economical issues using Wikipedia. Anything that can help me? I would like to make a list of these pages that are relevant globally. Would appreciate any help I can get here

Sorry I'm not fully getting what you want. Just use a search engine that isnt pos google dogshit? Like kagi, ddg, ecosia, searxng, qwant...

Or just search using Wikipedia.

    You can essential use most intern webpage searches as search engine (Wikipedia, Forums, Tech pages, Newspaper, etc.), so you can find always what you need, general or specific information.

    To insert a page search in your search engine list, mostly it's enough to search something in this page, after this editing the URL in the adressbar substituing the search concept with %s (eg. https ://lemmy.ml/search?q=%s) and copy than the URL in your search engine list. In Vivaldi it works also with the right click on the search bar and select "add as search engine" from the context menu.

    In the Vivaldi forum there is a threat with the IMHO most extensive list of search engines with corresponding insert codes.

    There is a search bar within Wikipedia. Use that to find articles that are relevant to your question/interest

    Hey there, which social and economical issues are you interested in? I'm working on a Wikipedia tool that lets you find Sociology and Science articles, you can see an example over at https://sciencefind.org/categories/sociological_theories_category.php - if there is a category you're interested in let me know and I'll add it. Otherwise, wikipedia has some portals, such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Society - here is the portal overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contents/Portals

    As always, nowadays one source in the web isn't enough for an deeper research, with or without AI. You find the whole human knowledge in the web, but hidden between 80% BS, conspiranoic sites, stupid influencers, cat images/vids, porn, hentai and other crap. Wikipedia is fine, but also with a grain of salt, good to take also a look on the sources of it's articles, apart there are also dozends of Wikipedia alternatives, which, depending of the theme are also good for certain researches.

    Apart of this it's also recommend to take a look on websites, like Wolphram Alpha, publications of universities and scientific centers.

    I read a combination of trending, on this day in history,and “article of the day” articles which I think gives a well rounded view of the world. Social and economic issues is a huge variety of topics so it’s hard to suggest individual things for you to read.
