Is that honestly the measure of how perfect a source of information is?
- googlryas 9y agoEveryone knows you just quote the source listed in the wikipedia article instead of the wikipedia article itself.
- globuous 9y agoTo me, they should use Wikipedia as an example of the necessity to use sources when teaching about bibliographies in school. The reason I trust wikipedia, is because it's properly referenced. And in some cases, if it's not, it'll even let me know. Wikipedia is a fantastic tool to find direct sources.
- acct1771 9y agoWonder if contemporary college/University professors accept Wikeaks as a valid source.
- tehwebguy 9y agoNo, and the quote from the article is a horrible meme that makes absolutely no sense. Of course people can’t source Wikipedia, they are meant to source the SOURCE articles! That’s like the entire point.
- notatoad 9y agoYou can't source encyclopedia brittanica either. Wikipedia isn't banned because it's a wiki, it's banned because it's an encyclopedia. But apparently the people who write these articles have never actually been to school, so they think that wikipedia not being allowed as a source for college papers is somehow a significant indictment.
