Can you provide facts or links?

I like Wikipedia. It provides info asap and it usually in the top 5 of my web browser when trying to find something. I provided my own bullshit detector.

That's because Google gives them an artificially high ranking.

Having said that, I use it a lot, but I read everything with skepticism.

You merely needed to look at Wikipedia. The best stuff is in "Discussions". but

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Republic

Despite this willingness to ban users, however, critics have charged that the lack of moderating on the site has allowed some users to advertise underage pornography: "One thing that apparently won't result in a ban: using the site solely to boost Web ranking for your child porn site."[58

I have a notorious relative so you will allow me to say that I know very well who his wife was and who his children are.........

Wiki invented a whole new marriage and family for him.

Either the children provided the false information to protect themselves or wiki did it on it’s own as the relative was a commie deported in the 50s for promoting the violent overthrow of the government.

Inventing wives and children is not exactly kosher, wouldn’t you say.

Seemingly anyone can edit wiki to suit their own agenda so what is the point of using that site for FACTS?

Actually, they’re probably journOlist facts.

Wiki is a good starting point but I always dig deeper from there. Its fine for most non political things.
