Well, understanding why Earth is heating up is quite important indeed if we want to know how to fix it. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Wikipedia is now going to require proof of academic credentials after finding out that a prolific poster who claimed to be a thelogical professor was a 24 year college dropout. The advantage of anonymity is being able to claim vast amounts of knowledge. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

quote:The amazing thing is that he apparently kept up the ruse for a very long time. Now, I know it would be extremely easy to pass oneself off as a professor by using Wikipedia. A few articles on psychiatry, and bang! I'm Sigmund Freud! But passing oneself off as an expert to other Wikipedians? That takes some doing. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

What I'm wondering is why he bothered, given Wikipedia's well-known disdain for expertise. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Become an instant academic on Wikipedia. It sure beats the grind of getting a decree. Besides everyone is more likely to believe you if you can claim importance. Sort of related - I saw a bumper sticker today - Intelligent Design or Random Mutation with a picture of George W. Bush on it. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Well, it is said you should never blame malicious intent for what could be explained by incompetence - but really, I think whatever designed him did so intelligently and malevolently. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Behind that grandmotherly face lies a cold calculating nasty mind and a heart of dry ice. Just remember what she called Geraldine Ferraro during the election and how she treated her daughter-in-law after her son Neil cheated on his wife. She taught George W, everything he knows about being a vicious bully. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

Oh, search for "evolution". Alorael, can we hire you to snipe on other websites? What a horribly idiotic thing. It was designed by people who disbelieved in evolution so much that it didn't work for them. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Conservapedia is not the worst thing in the world, and there are numerous other things or people I would rather eliminate in order to stem religious fundamentalism before I would even consider this website. Though I definitely think Conservapedia is exaggerating with the statement that Wikipedia is "six times" more liberal than the average American, Wikipedia is generally home to very liberal thinkers. However, I do not particularly like it, either. It does take a confrontational and discriminatory stance toward, well, everybody who is not a Christian literal interpretor. It is funny that most people take it as a joke, too. Is it just me, or does this Wikipedia article about Conservapedia reflect considerable bias? -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

Originally by Garrison: quote:It feels more incomplete than anything else. Some of the ideas could be explained more thoroughly. (And wouldn't having comparing articles from the two sources be interesting? Probably impractical, but still interesting.) This is also the first time Dikiyoba realized how hard it is to pick out individual paragraphs in Wikipedia articles with numerous sources. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |
