Have they taken it to far?

Well to be honest, I've always been a bit doubtful of Wikipedia. It's a great idea, but too easily exposed to trouble. And there's so much information, so many different topics. Muppet Wiki, in contrast, I think is probably more accurate since it focuses on one clear topic.

Wow. That's all I can say.

I'm saying! boy! The thing they don't want to public to know, huh? Who takes responsibility for their actions any more? Character over image and trying to make your self look good. *tisk*

I NEVER trust Wikipedia or Answers.com. For stuff like word definitions, science, world history and whatnot, okay. But not for other stuff like...well...I'll know it when I see it.

Like they say, "You can't always believe everything you hear or read". Especially on the internet.

I saw that on Stephen Colbert! Pepsi, Exxon, tons of companies are changing the information. I guess we found a flaw in that whole democracy thing, eh? Companies still wanna control it.

I think the Wikiscanner is an excellent idea. It'll make twisting the facts a little more difficult, I hope.

All the same, I visit Wikipedia only for fun; I don't use it for serious research. In fact, at school most of the professors prohibit our using Wikipedia, since it's sometimes kind of suspect.

Right, Wikipedia is good if you need to know simple information in a hurry. But you can't write a whole paper around it.

I use it for fun fact as well. But now for anything serious.
