Kissandra Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Oh wow, that's too long to look into...so I didn't see anything . For everyone who thinks they're stupid for allowing people to edit things, they have people monitoring that and can restore pages when necessary. I know 'cause I've been spotted doing some nonsensical crap...a few times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamarine Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Sometimes it's accurate and useful, sometimes it's full of errors, how is the casual seeker-after-knowledge to know which is which? This is why it's worthless! You knew I couldn't resist . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joelmon Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I find entertainment in wiki (fill in suffix). You must read it with a grain of salt though...but often times there ARE facts included that might not be without the user being able to edit. Of course that goes both ways..... Always consult more sources though, if what you seek is important FACTS.... Fodder is FUN.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc1973 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 But that's the beauty of user-editing. If you find stuff that isn't accurate, you can change it! The writer AJ Jacobs did an experiment actually... In September 2005, Jacobs (with Esquire magazine) participated in an experiment of the "wiki process". He submitted an intentionally error-riddled article to Wikipedia which discussed the peculiarities of such an encyclopedia. After about two days and 373 edits, he was pleased with the version, stating, "I feel like I should submit all my articles to the community to get them Wikipedia-ized. I can't wait to print this in Esquire magazine." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AchillesLAX Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Well it appears that it has been changed back. I liked the Gabriel thing better though, made me think of Jesus. But anyways another useless thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
