Wikipedia

someone wrote crap about my name, edited on wikipedia , wikipedia allowed it. I go and change the information of the person i know wrote it and wrote something ignorant about them and they WARNED me and took it down. They didnt take down what was written about me yet they took down what i wrote about that person and it waas the same thing written about me. ALSO how does wikipedia know and get to it so quick when i changed it?

Uncyclopedia. Wikipedia.

Are they owned by the same people. I noticed they both are "MediaWiki."


Uncyclopedia is funny, however Wikipedia is informative.

I like uncyclopedia more though because if someone says something that is false it won't matter.

Do you know about Wikipedia, the always-expanding (free) internet encyclopedia, written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world, that ANYone can edit or correct.

I think that's awesome!!! Please stay away if you are a prankster.

The name Wikipedia is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a type of collaborative website) and encyclopedia.

There are more than 75,000 active contributors working on some 8,700,000 articles in more than 250 languages. As of today, there are 2,058,778 articles in English.

Every day hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world make tens of thousands of edits and create thousands of new articles to enhance the knowledge held by the Wikipedia encyclopedia.

I think this Wikipedia Internet Encyclopedia is one of the great things about the world wide web.

People always say, "Why don't you Google it?"!

People should perhaps say, "Why don't you Wikipedia it?"!

Don't you agree with me?

Do you use it much?

Its several lines of text at the top of Wikipedia that I have no use for. Sometimes it takes up a quarter of the screen.

My teacher told me that using wikipedia for projects at school are banned because Wiki is fake. Anyone can put false things in Wikipedia. Do you guys know any other websites?

My friend edits Wikipedia and puts stuff like HAHAHA, or other weird stuff and deletes everything. What will happen to him? Will he be banned or what are his panelties?

I know teachers don't consider it a valid source. Is it because "anyone" can edit it? I feel sort of bothered because I saw something that didn't seem accurate, & then a couple of hrs. later I saw it deleted. & also, I saw where they said this singer (I won't reveal her name) supposedly dated this guy in high school-but it sounded made up from a guy who obviously had a crush or fantasy about her & made the story seem as if she loved him. But I can tell it was a "fan" saying something false & stupid.

It owns and is G0dlike. It is time saving, so thorough, has neutrality i.e. isn't one sided. In the case that there may be personal beliefs portrayed more strongly by the writer it informs you at the top the neutrality of the article is disputed, etc.

Has many people review it in the discussion boards to ensure that it is accurate, is updated faster than any other encyclopedia, it never goes out of date, the articles have so many references! I can't think of anything bad about Wikipedia. It has taught me so much, has millions of articles!

So why do teachers always say NO WIKIPEDIA in your bibliographies?

It sneaks in to allmost all google search results crops up in the media and magazines like its totally fantatstic or something.

It seems to me that it's more like a freely editble blog since the "Experts" who write the articles are just people who have an account.

Whats worrying me about the site is that it's being seen more and more as a valid referance source and has even been used in a few minor legal cases. It's all so troubling that some schools seem to think it's ok to use their stuff for teaching.

There are a lot of cool smart people on wikipedia but all so a ton of crazy obessive nerds and people with biases and agenders.

Most articles "Citations" are mostly copy and pasted from tiny articles in science magazines.

How has this website gotten this much acclaim and power?

What are your thoughts?

Unfortunately, that's dead wrong. I think the Video blog article could use some updating.

I'm sure it isn't perfect, but I have found plenty of information there that can be back up by reliable sources. Can somebody give an example of bad information they found on Wikipedia?
