Re: Poll: Do you trust Wikipedia for info?

Yes even tough my friend change info and st jon bosko to st john boskie, if you go to the bottom of the page it says Fred and it says his birthday is January 32.. lol they changed it, but it just shows how easy it is to mislead people

Re: Poll: Do you trust Wikipedia for info?

I'll check if there's any source before using the information. Read this if you haven't.

Re: Poll: Do you trust Wikipedia for info?

Whatever you do, don't trust the information given on the Michael J. Fox page.  I checked once and it said he died of a heart attack twenty years ago.  It's gone now but I don't trust the rest of it..

No, don't forget that Wikipedia has facts written by members.

Nope
Probably because I enjoy adding false information to random pages, therefore making them unreliable
Unless you call my imagination reliable

That can get you permanently blocked.

Re: Poll: Do you trust Wikipedia for info?

If humans have arms, legs, a heart and internal organs, then yes, I do. When humans suddenly have none of the listed, that'll be the day I think Wikipedia is fake. But now that I know Rufflebee has been wrongly "hacking" the information, it's in question.

Re: Poll: Do you trust Wikipedia for info?

I trust it for getting just day-to-day info, but I'd never use it as a source for a school paper.
