The dynamic on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia makes it easy for anyone with an internet connection to create or alter any entry in effect turning everyone from your lisping mailman to the shady hermit down the street into a potential editor. This powerful feature has contributed in no small part to the enormous size and success of the endeavor which has, in a relatively short time, produced a large and remarkably timely body of knowledge one that quite often finds itself as accurate as an old-fashioned, bona-fide encyclopedia written by smart folks.
Admittedly, however, the full-on democratic policy of allowing people from all walks of life to weigh in on any given topic with knowledge they may or may not possess has its pitfalls. Fortunately Wikipedia, being dynamic and forward thinking, already has those potential headaches worked out.
Behold, some of the many Wikipedia entry flags at your disposal:
Jesus, do you think you could have chosen a lesser known spoiler than the one for Se7en? I mean like f*****g Usual Suspects or Sixth Sense or something. FUCK.
My friend is a Wikipedia editor, and some shitwads are repeatedly vandalising the article with their belief that certain people dealing with the article are dating or some crap. It keeps making the article inadequate by Wikipedia's standards, and the poor guy's just trying to keep it neutral.
Also, just because you don't have a high GPA doesn't mean you're dumb. School wasn't my strong suit. I'm highly intellegent, it was just that I sucked at school. Then again, the schools themselves sucked, and I started sucking right when they put that "George Bush Wants to Make You as Dumb as He is!" thing in place, so it may not have been ALL my fault... anyways, I've learned more on my own than I have from any school, and *gasp* the information I'm learning is actually useful and relevant to my life! :/
Reading these kinda Wikipedia mocking comments lately is pretty funny... the place has changed a lot, and not necessarily for the better. Vandalism has been cut down, but now it's sometimes an uphill battle to not get your edits reverted by some basement dweller who thinks he owns the page, by dealing with administrators who seem to have lost all interest in actually running the wiki.
interesting enough a study shows that all though anyone can edit any artical on wikipedia it is actually about 85% accurate on most articals and closer to 100% accurate on science articals the same study showed that its just as and some times more accurate then enclyopedia britannica

High school was easy as hell, I don't see how anyone with average intelligence could fail.

Candid means "truthful", not "hidden" as used in that image macro.
ReplyThat's not the porn definition.
The image doesn't include or imply "hidden", their use of candid is fine.
Everyone with authority on Wikipedia is a f ag and Jimmy Wales is the leader of a Satanist cult. Carries around the blood of children in his thermos.
