hm, just like open source software isnt better than, hm, lets say Microsoft's unreleased source code?

some of wikipedia may not be 100% correct, but thats what makes it great, someone who knows can re-write it.

lets take history for example. who writes whats in the history books? most times its the victor. it is one persons view on it, and if its not correct most times it cant be changed, or is a hassle to change.

i am not saying that wikipedia is the best, both static and dynamic references have their advantages and disadvantages. lets just say to do good research requires one to use multiple sources, and then draw a conclusion from there.

Well, we are on there as a definition

**celsdogg** · 05-10-2006, 04:12 PM

well of course. ub.c defines bimmer enthusiasts!

nick_318is · 05-10-2006, 04:59 PM

I like wikipedia i think its cool that people can go on and correct information etc. and you can almost always get more information about something your looking for. I'm just saying it isn't credible for citing things in papers, etc.

For everyday use its sweet.

**celsdogg** · 05-10-2006, 05:05 PM

haha, i still use it for citing papers, my profs wont know the difference! i even did it for an IS teacher, he had no idea!
