Wiki spreads stupidity.

[muawiyah]

My real name .............. hmmmmm ............. thought I had one ....... once.

Does somebody want my real name?

[Borges]

It's still a cool site with lots of easily accesible reference info.

[AmericanMade1776]

By now, wouldn't you think most people know what Wikipedia is all about. Wikipedia is a great site for some information and sometimes you get misinformation, that is corrected when it is found out. Don't we all know that?

[Tribune7]

The New York Times and ABCNNBCBS also spread stupidity and are far less likely to be corrected than Wiki.

And unlike Wiki those institutions provide no useful information.

[Fierce Allegiance]

You have to be smart enough to use it, much like reading the new York Times, and all it's disinformation.

[AmericanMade1776]

And in all fairness to Wikipedia, who would think that a professor of Quinnipiac would intentionally try to sabotage Wikipedia?

[AmericanMade1776]

Exactly! We should all remember that everything you see in print, is not always factual, even when presented as fact.

[clintonh8r]

Wikkenpedia...one of the bad things about the web.

[#1CTYankee]

Sweet, I've found some good reference material there and now I guess I won't be visiting anymore.

(Unrelated) Go IDF!

[hawkeye101]

Wikipedia does spread a bad virus; the virus of liberalism.

[groanup]

We, the great unwashed, are simply too stupid to edit and read our own encyclopedia. We need intellectual wobble heads to spoon feed us knowledge.

[Calvin Locke]

True, especially for up-to-the-second cultural crazes.

However, politicians send their minions to uncorrect information about themselves, too.

One of the Reps from MA. The guy that's going with Barney Frank to change the don't ask/don't tell policy, iirc.
