| PS360ForTheWin said: i do infact read newspapers, generally i read the independent, but occasionly i have read other papers here, and also i type quickly on the web, when working/studying i type slowly, so of course my writing is not as good here, the same could be said for half the site. And i use wikipedia as a source as its reliable and not biased, not a paper, as papers are biased. Wikipedia is international not european. |
From the website itself:
Critics of Wikipedia target its systematic bias and inconsistencies and its policy of favoring consensus over credentials in its editorial process. As a result, contemporary popular icons with relatively low overall significance (TV hosts, pop singers etc.) are often more prominently featured than historical figures with high global importance. Wikipedia's reliability and accuracy are also an issue. Other criticisms are centered on its susceptibility to vandalism and the addition of spurious or unverified information. Scholarly work suggests that vandalism is generally short-lived.
Straight from the horse's mouth.
