Title: Ever Used Wikipedia?
Post by: Sam Salmon on November 21, 2006, 09:14:09 PM
http://wikipedia.org

An open source site anyone can contribute to-does anyone here share their knowledge there?

Just wondering.

I've cleaned up some of the nonsense on Salmon but there remains a lot to be done.

Your turn!

that site is reject coz it allows everyone to edit so the sources will not be reliable that much even they got some editors  to check !

I think it's actually pretty cool. A good source for information, you just need to take it with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I guess Wikipedia is subject to the same types of things we are here at FWR. A week or so ago, maybe more, someone was posting links that ended up in some very questionable and inappropriate material.
