Wikipedia. So...how accurate is it?

Most of the time, I think of the accuracy as something that's proportionate to the amount of users editing; the more users involved, the more likely that things like shitty comments that aren't related and topic focus is key. Usually.

That's usually blown out of the water by "touchy" topics when solid facts aren't presented/personal edit agendas are the mainstay. Take a look at any large article, there was probably an edit war somewhere in there.

So yeah. I think that most of the content could be considered accurate, but I wouldn't base everything on that alone.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That doesn't surprise me, and honestly, anyone beliving anything on Wikipedia as ABSOLUTE TRUTH deserves to look like a fool. But if that example did happen, it would just invoke drama and that fancy-pants editing lock on it. XD

Which is what those type of people want, of course. :3

How ya doing, buddy?
