Must be quality food youre dishing out

yeah, Hotdogs laced with crack...they kept coming back over and over

There really is no advantage to fudging the numbers and with a large sample it begins coming into play. This is a beta version of the site that hasn't really gone fully public yet.

Is that really how you think Wikipedia works?

other than being liberally slant like nobodies business.

of course his statement is an exaggeration, but if someone makes an article that no one else has any real knowledge on...they could get away with some lies.

Not true. Wikipedia demands sources be cited within a certain period of time or the text without source is flagged for deletion.

I'm not saying there's not bad info on Wikipedia. The editing and revision maintenance process takes time. During that time it's possible to find bad information. You just have to learn how to read the entries and not trust information without sources cited. It's not perfect, but the system they have in place does work fairly well.

Yeah I was basically stating the stigma that they had from when they first started....although they have made leaps and bounds and have made it as to where you could actually use it for school work, as to 5 years ago that wasnt possible

It's still not wise to use it as a source on anything though. Better to just go with whatever source the information is linked to on there. Even if it is true, which makes your source work look and sound better: Wikipedia or The Journal on Insert Disease Name Here?

Oh I agree but they take the leg work out of it...just click on the sources

I know for a definitive fact that there is an article about a fake person on Wikipedia, and it's been there for years. I know, because I put it there...
