Wikipedia Day!

  1. #1
    This is, I guess, an event that celebrates Wikipedia's birthday with cake. I'm thinking about attending since somebody is hosting one in my city. It might be gay though if there's only a few people. Especially since I'm not an editor.

    Wikipedia is the most revolutionary information distribution system since the printing press. Maybe even the most in human history, honestly.

    Deleted most the posts in this thread because it was off topic SHITGARBAGE.

    Anyway, wikipedia is dank. Editor culture is kinda weird, like I think that's what "library people" evolved into. They're not particularly offensive, just kinda autistic and... weird. But they do their thing and it facilitates the world's best encyclopedia which turns out to be a super important kind of thing, so go wiki editors I guess.

    Thank you. You finally moderated.

    I cringe when people say wikipedia isn't a valid source when anyone so much as whispers that they read AMYTHING from it.
    Like, because it was from wikipedia that automatically makes whatever you cited to be false.

    The broader the entry the more likely it is to be fairly accurate. The more specific an entry gets, the less accurate it gets.

    Wikipedia is basically the best first source to look at to get a broad overview of whatever topic you're interested in.

    Pretty sure the pdc guy was wrong. I bought my own scale, and I'm more like ~140 rather than 133.

    It would make sense for me to get that muscle/fat linch testing thing the military does instead of BMI.
    BMI is kind of inaccurate.

    wikipedia is nothing but a mob monopoly of informations.

    their truth is only as far as the people will go to cite their sources, sources however, need not to be true.

    and your a faggot for deleting other peoples truth.

    I don't see how that's a "mob monopoly". I don't think you even know what those words mean or you wouldn't use them together. So basically eat shit.

    But a monopoly is when one person controls everything. A mob is a whole bunch of people taking control.

    A mob monopoly is an oxymoron.

    Idiot.

    a mob is an entity.

    things can be monopolized by an individual, a group, a conglomerate, a country, a coporation, and yes,

    a mob.

    Sounds like it would be painful for everyone involved. My sweet little autists looking for any excuse to come out of their shells and finding the weirdest possible outlet. Typical. *sigh*

    I hope it goes well. Sounds like the kind of thing I would go to and immensely regret.
