Duh, it's already banned and I'm still in high school.

Well my teacher, in high school, is so... Foolish. She's never heard of it. So it's fine right now - Of course, as for other classes... Haven't done anythin' yet that I needed to make a bibliography for, so who knows.

It's banned in only one of my classes and that is history. Otherwise it is still fair game for me.

Although I only use it when I can't find information on what I'm looking for.

*shrugs* my teachers just make me turn it in handwritten.

My teachers are COOL DUDES. The ones that don't stop you using Wiki anyway...

Anyway, the articles have sources at the bottom. So you can throw them in to your bibliography.

Does this have any relation to the entry I made...?

Actually, it does tie in to the comments about it being dangerous. I didn't realize teacher's banned it...

Thanx for the tip. I only use it along with other sites, anyway.

But it is fun for casual stuff. (Like the Lego part, Bionicle part, BZPower part...)

Does this have any relation to the entry I made...?

Not entirely. Only wrote it cuz my teacher brought it up.

And if necessary do some heavy paraphrasing, so the exact quotes don't show up on Google.

I mostly use it at work (I'm a translator, FYI) to look up abbreviations and possible translations not found in your average dictionary.

Wikipedia's good for some things, but not scholarly stuff.

It's not banned at my school, but I try to avoid it.

I prefer the term Skwiki. 'Cuz it sounds like 'squeaky'.

What the He... Heck is wrong with Wiki??

What the He... Heck is wrong with Wiki??

Because since Wikipedia is a site that can be edited by anyone, and I mean anyone, it cannot be trusted as a valid resource site, hence the reason why teachers and professors ban it.

-Omi

Wiki FTW. You have no idea the stuff I've learned from Wikipedia. But yeah, using it as a scholarly source is a recipe for humiliation.

Oh yeah. I don't mind looking at it for something quick, but I don't use it for big stuff.

Oh! I got it:

Have professionals check out the pages made on Wikipedia and have them publish correct ones on a separate site: Wikipedia Verified.

I want royalties.

Fine, you get 40%. For the name. Now, describe to me this 'encyclopedia' idea of yours.

Actually, I knew it would never work.

Ok. Encyclopedias shall be sources of info. There will be 26 different volumes, one for each letter.

But they already exist.

Sometimes "C" and "M" are split into two volumes! But then X, Y and Z are all in one volume, so it evens out.

And don't they have a different volume that comes after The XYZ?

Thats a different case, cuz you aren't using wikipedia as a resource for a research paper/project.

-Omi

Are you saying only use it if you have absolutely no clue what the he(beep) something is

Thats why I have that Punch Hopper link in my sig, So people get a basic idea of what it is
