| Mazty said: You have eyes ergo you can check the references. To just dismiss it because "it's wiki" is just lazy. If we were talking about writing a paper, then okay, it's not a profs responsibility to check sources, but you're not a professor and this isn't a university. You can just check the legitimate nature of the sources by *gasp* clicking on them. |
It's laziness on your part to cite wikipedia rather than the source cited within the wikipedia entry. As I said, wikipedia is modifiable by anyone. You have to check the source, and if you have checked it, why not just cite the actual source instead of the wikipedia entry which actually could be modified in between the time you cite it and the time I read it, nullifying it entirely.
Kids...so lazy.
