To read that, and then claim that you can't expect to get a correct definition, is peeing into the wind...



I knew it as well.

I realize that it's in the nature of dishonest people (such as yourself) to expect dishonesty from others, but the rest of the world just isn't like that.
READ the study I gave.

I conducted a study also. My study says I cannot rely on wikipedia as a credible source when you have untold numbers of people accessing and editing continually. Looks like others agree. You lost another one to Gyco.

You know, it's moments like this that the phrase "Liar, liar, pants on fire" seems the most suitable response...

Once again, you resort to dishonesty and JUST your personal opinion, without even trying to figure out what other people are saying on the subject.

Oh good grief. You CANNOT COMPREHEND what the others have said on the subject. You hear only what you want to hear.

Dylan: "Well, they tend to be mostly correct. It's just that their verification system is flawed. They usually catch errors within 48 hours or less, but you never know what you'll see before it gets fixed."

AMFLiberal: "I think that study was talking about the science articles. Wikipedia is pretty accurate, I think, but all in all not a credible source of information in academia."

If you actually STOPPED and tried THINKING about what the three of us are ACTUALLY saying, you'ld see we're essentially saying the same thing.

And on that note, I'm curious if you can accurately relay what my opinion of Wikipedia actually is...
Let me guess. ANOTHER question you're going to cower from...

Good grief...

Alias, you do not have the means or the education to conduct a study.

I think it is creadible in the sense that you can usually safely assume that you are getting accurate information. That does not mean that you chould not verify it and check it against other resources, but that is true for all resources.

Do they drink near beer and go play golf
While they pick which countries to invade
Which Muslim souls still can be saved?
I guess god just calls a spade a spade

That isn't a study. A study requires a sample group of at least a couple hundred people, it requires statistics, it requires a hypothesis and an experiment and actually examining and observing....

No wonder you think scientists are hacks. You have no understanding of how a study works.

I don't think scientists are hacks. I never said that. I think those who believe theories are proof are stupid whether they are scientists or not. We are all agreed that anyone can access wikipedia and edit it and that makes it a noncredible source.

You did not conduct a study, and you have no understanding of what a theory is.
