I say they’re a bunch of propagandizing Marxists and their material is highly unreliable and is subject to change at anytime without notice because they allow anyone with an Internet account to go in and edit it. You may post something to FR today from their site that looks halfway reasonable (probably added to their site by a commonsense conservative), and then go back a week later and it’s totally opposite after being edited by some liberal yahoo.

That is the problem with Wikipedia. Awhile back, I read something that was clearly wrong, and easily provably wrong. I went in an edited it and put in the correct dates and story.

Since then, I have never used that site as a source for anything. - Tom

I can attest to this! I got in an argument with one of those liberal yahoos on a newsgroup when they were bashing Christianity, and they linked to a wiki article that they changed--it was supposed to be about persecution of Christians in the world today, but they changed the wording to make it sound like Christians are persecuting others with their "intolerant" viewpoints!! >:-(

I got a wiki account and fixed it and go back to check on it occasionally to make sure that yahoo hasn't changed it again...but I learned pretty quick that Jim is right, it's very left-leaning at wiki. Now there's supposed to be a more balanced site though, at conservapedia.com. I haven't checked it out fully, but I've heard good things about the website. Not sure if Jim would allow links to conservapedia or not.
