I once read anrticle stating how wikipedia has been losing credibility in its entries, due to issues similar ones like these.

I've heard the same.

Why do you use Wikipedia?

---

Because i can find information on just about anything i need to know about. Answers.com is another alternative, but most of its entries are derived from wikipedia..

I don't see the bias you speak of, but I shouldn't worry if I were you; wikipedia is not history, after all.

Time will take care of your concerns, certainly.

---

no worries. you've never been any good at spotting bias. :smilie4:

Hmmm.

Must be an ease-of-use marketing thingie.

I've only heard it referred to, haven't used it myself; I generally know where to look to find what I want to know.

Interestingly, when I say something like that, people assume I'm speaking of sites reflective of my own ideology (they'd be wrong, as usual); but it is ironic that Wikipedia is coming to be seen that way.

Reason, logic, experience and personal judgement become more important every day...;)

Yes, I think I will.

...to be less condescending?

I find Wikipedia useful if I need to find out the height of one of WWE's wrestlers but less useful if I need to find an accurate summary of Elizabeth Gaskell's social novel North and South.

No, to abide Dave's unrelentingly foolish and unnecessary statements.

What is mall-core then? First person who wikis me the answer gets a kick to their inner child's head.
