There's nowhere I can't reach. |
How many of those 12,985 that don't know anything about Tipler's Rotating Cylinder are actually going to edit it? And if a couple of them do, those that actually do know what they are talking about will edit it back. You can find 5 wiki articles with false info, I can find 5000 with accurate information. Like I said, as a 100% infallible source that could be quoted on a term paper or in a report, Wiki wouldn't work. As a quick way to look up a fact, or learn something new about something you didn't know alot about, it does.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. GI Joe is the codename for America's highly trained special mission force. Its purpose: to defend human freedom against COBRA. A ruthless terrorist organization determined to rule the world. 24 can't jump the shark. Jack Bauer ate the shark long ago. Now 24 can only jump the water, and that doesn't mean anything. - Jazzflight <Krizzzopolis> acid you are made of win. <Dissolution> And now my god damn scissors are all milky |

So - you can't quantify that anyone, let alone a number of people, are qualified to make a post about anything on Wiki and be considered legit. The numbers are stacked against you - the proof of evidence is on you, not I.
I was speaking idiomatically.

Honestly, I think Wikipedia is a wonderful source of information. Of course, any information you find should be taken with a grain of salt, especially if the article in question does not cite its sources. It suits my purposes, certainly. There's no better way to find huge amounts of information on thousands of different subjects. Furthermore, the general style of organization appeals to me. And just for the record, Wikipedia articles aren't generally considered to be "paper encyclopedia" quality until they're featured. So, information from featured articles is to be valued above all others.

Meh - I'd never use it on a term paper or anything that required accountability... But if I was interested in knowing, say Anniston, Alabama (When I was wondering what sort of hazardous materials would cause the FAA to issue a TFR for that general area).

I've always wondered this, if Wikipedia can be changed so easily by a few clicks of the mouse, then why do people use it for more then just entertainment purposes? I mean shouldn't they come up with someway to stop this...Like maybe create a way for someone to verify the edits before allowing to appear on the site or something along those lines. Or is that expecting too much of them?
I don't use wikipedia unless I really, really, REALLY have to. Other times I just search for sites using a helpful search engine that are more researched then wikipeadia is. Heck...some fan sites are more creditable then Wikipedia! Personally...I think they should get they're act together and make the site harder to edit like I said. And on a some what unrelated note...I'm surprised someone didn't add 'he got divine punishment from lord Kira' to the long list of the causes of death. Okay that was a bad joke, sorry about that.

Oh brave new world, with such putzes in it.

I'm sure theres also another layer entirely that would involve things like evidence and any number of Computer Crimes Act that I don't know about. However, what it boils down to is pretty much someone bumping into you and them saying "Fuck off". Is that worth dragging out? What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

All I said is I disagreed with Acid because for some subjects, namely chemistry and biology, Wikipedia is a far more complete source of information than other encyclopedias which may be taken to be more reliable. That's it. No reason to cry a river or threaten genocide.

Look, boy wonder, I corrected him on his obviously limited, naive point of view. If you want to question me on that, do it. Otherwise, kindly stick your nose somewhere else because this part of the conversation is over with.
Which is it? I don't have time for this nonsense. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
I just thought it was interesting that you armed yourself to the teeth as if to defend the universal truth of wikipedia's sucking or something. Saying that wikipedia is good seems to be a direct attack to your morals or something. I don't give a shit, I said wikipedia is better than most other encyclopedias for chemistry and biology, and that's that. Take it or leave it.

I mean, you're complaining about how I phrased part of my post. Way to avoid the entire point of the post simply because I said something that - SHOCK! - made you react!
Go do it somewhere else and stop befouling the internet.

Whatever. You win at the internet.
Happy now? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Reviving an old thread because I've been away for a long time.
They don't lock every subject because it's not being vandalized by people. What you're asking is kinda like wondering why we just don't close every thread here after it's made to prevent trolling. Most amazing jew boots |

'LeHah we're all happy with this compromise between accuracy and flexibility, it is sensible/statistically proven' 'BUT FAGGOTS STILL HAVE ACCESS' 'But that's okay, their capacity for fucking shit up is still very sma--' 'BUT THE FAGGOTS, THEY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING, OTHERWISE THEY WOULDN'T BE ON THE INTERNET GOD THE INTERNET IF FULL OF FAGGOTS' one, two, one, two, etc. Jam it back in, in the dark.
