if your paper is super important you shouldn't be using wikipedia to write it

[Wrynna]

when i was in school we didnt have wikipedia..we had encyclopedia.
and that was only if your parents really loved you!

[Nakara]

if your paper is super important you shouldn't be using wikipedia to write it

why not? good articles list the source material at the bottom.

[Spud]

haha

I dont really have a super important english paper, was just making fun of people who use Wikipedia as a main source.

But seriously, this guy is creepy

[karsten]

I'm with spud on this one

[teganyavo]

it blows my mind that (maybe) the greatest database of accessible information the world has ever had was created by a dude from Alabama named Jimbo

[warrioman]

despite what anybody else says, wikipedia is actually a very good source if you're looking for a broad overview of a topic. Because the format is so standardized it's easier to shift through page after page of info. Plenty of mathematical formulas/concepts are summarized well. I wouldn't put down what wikipedia has to offer

[Spud]

Thanks for bumping this karsten, i thought nobody cared!

warriorman, i agree, i really do love wikipedia and use the shit out of it.

Whether I want to see where a basketball player played in college or find what Caesium is i can find it in about 5 seconds in a standardized form. Unforunately at the moment i have to have Jimmy Wales creepishly staring at me at the top of every page.

i recall her selling his sweaty sweatshirt he left at her place on ebay or some other retarded shit.

Bandwidth, electricity and space all cost money. It's not going to just come out of thin air. It's a small price to pay, seeing his mug on the page. Donate some cash!

[karsten]

wrong, the internet is free for everyone and everything durr

[Ihealyou]

Jimbo funnels the donation money to his personal account to feed his cocaine habit. Think about that next time you want to give him money.

he also goes to a lot of the new york pretty people parties where bottles of cristal cost a grand and you have to lick it off a 10k a night hookers ass. all the money that he spends doesnt come out of the thin air after all.
Ill donate to Wikimedia again when Wales is finally removed from the board completely.

Although, consider the source before you make any judgements.

[karsten]

Is he looking thru me?

[karsten]

so they got rid of jimmy wales on some of the foreign wikipedia sites...


AND REPLACED HIM WITH OTHER WIKIMEDIA DOUCHEBAGS

oh, the text reads:

"Pavel Richter, CEO Wikimedia Germany"

"Please read: learn why Germany is so important to Wikipedia"

That is the amount of fail you made in your post.

Sick watermark, brah.

Wikipedia can be updated/edidted by anyone. Including but not limited to every single person that posts of these forums. Imagine your writing a paper on the american revolution, and someone like Karsten was like the only thing George Washington wanted more than a colonial victory was boobs. The wierd thing is Karsten is actually a brilliant guy...

[Savok]

Is it ironic that you posted about having Jimbo looking at you every time you go to wikipedia by posting a picture of Jimbo loooking at you?

[karsten]

the only thing George Washington wanted more than a colonial victory was boobs.

[karsten]

BUMP OMG FUCK YOU JIMMY WALES

[bizzum]

Almost a year later and his face still haunts us all.

[Extunarian]
