MR> yeah and anybody can make 100 accounts. wikipedia is an online mmorpg.
MR> anybody that considers it a source of reliable information is sad.

Scientific, historical and other societies have been digging into Wikipedia
for almost 20 years now to test just how reliable it is and the answer
usually comes back the same, it's 90x larger than Brittanica and more
accurate, more up to date and less biased on average.

the reliable parts are those stolen from brittanica and other notable sources.

i'm not sure if it's 90% larger, but if it is, it's probably because it's polluted with bullshit articles about everything.

the thing is, wikipedia has too much of the human element in it.
people get attached to articles and subjects like they belong to them.
they get emotional. People taint the information to their liking or out of spite.

There are people who have worked their way up into the wikipedia ranks by building friendships and kissing ass. they have their own agendas that they and their friends follow.
