en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliability_of_Wikipedia

Do you trust Wikipedia on a topic about the reliability of Wikipedia. (I do)

#22

Fett101: In my opinion, I trust it. i seem to trust wiki in gerenral now.

#23

Speaking of, netsoc.tcd.ie/~mu/wiki/

see View Shortest Path about half way down

Pixar is 2 clicks away from Communism.

TSS: Wise teachers. :slight_smile: It’s good to see a bit of good American education for once.
Fett101: Oh, don’t fall into the WikiMonster’s evil plan. That article’s trying to get others to trust Wikipedia, by sayig bad things about themselves. IT’S A TRAP! :astonished: Oh, no. The Monster’s gotten to you, hasn’t it? :cry:

#25

Oh, A113, your posts are always good for a laugh. :laughing:

#26

A113: Is there a problem with teachers allowing students using wikipedia as a steping stone?

#27

whistle that has to be the outspoken thing i’ve ever heard you say.

#28

Well, the way your teachers are doing it is great, so probably not. As long as it teaches kids not to use it, because children are the future, and if they’re always turning to Wikipedia for answers, that’s the future! The Wikipedia Monster will rule the future if we’re not careful!

cough parinoid cough

jk :laughing:

Nobody fully trusts anything nowadays - heck, you’re not smart if you believe everything you hear on television, especially the news. They exaggerate to make it more interesting. I highly doubt the future will fully trust a computer website that allows anyone to edit. :stuck_out_tongue: C’mon already! :unamused:

#31

RR: cough denial cough cough
FONY: I know it’s crazy, but it’s crazy to trust what Wikipedia says, and by the looks of this thread, the WikiMonster’s doing pretty well. :astonished: Oh noes!

#32

lol, but i agree with FONY. the world is full of idiots, but is full of smarties, too. :slight_smile:

Everyone, in their own special way, is a complete idiot.

thank you for your wisdom, master A113.

still, how is paris hilton a genius?

i shouldn’t of said that. now everyones gonna get into some big hoopla about her. :unamused:

#35

They don’t tell kids to rely on wikipedia for answers in the future. That is the whole point i am trying to make here.

#36

RR: Hey, she’s not a bad actor. :wink:
TSS: Yes, but if we can’t stop kids from doing so, they will, and the WikiMonst…never mind. :laughing:

#37

well, yes, shes good at the obnoxious “hot girl” roles. other than that, uuuuuuhhh…

neva mind. i don’t want to start an argument.

#38

I don’t think we can stop people from looking up wikipedia. But I know that schools can stop people from using it as a credible source.

#39

The majority of my school teachers over the last two years have never let the students use Wikipedia as a source for a project and such, because – well, it can obviously be edited by anyone, but for the most part, I find that a fairly good amount of the information is valid.

#40

TSS: Yes, that’s why it needs to be destroyed…somehow. :bulb: It’s not for sale. :angry: But it is editable…by anyone… :bulb:
Bill: Yes, most of it may be true, but most isn’t good enough. Do you remember Don Quixote and Rollie? Full of lies, Wickedpedia is.
