  • I feel like this is one of those bell curve memes. At the start you see that it’s publicly edited and you turn away. Then you see the extensive source citations and why not? Then you get involved in editing Wikipedia and you see what constitutes a “source” and what happens on the talk pages. And you’re right back to not ever citing Wikipedia.

    Seriously though, Wikipedia isn’t going to be nearly in depth enough for any research paper worth a damn after you do your first couple. And that’s because those are meant to teach you how to do research papers. Wikipedia isn’t as bad as AI but anyone who’s neck deep in a field will find problems with any Wikipedia page about their field. And it just gets worse the more politicized your field is. So the answer is as it always was. Go to the primary sources.












  • Wait to get hit?

    I don’t think you’re doing it right.

    Step 1 make sure you have gap insurance.

    Step 2 never make more than the minimum car payment.

    Step 3 when your ready for a new car, side swipe a car on the left and drive into a brick wall on the right. Make sure there are no cameras.

    Step 4 enjoy your new car.

    Step 5 commit identity fraud so you can keep a low insurance premium!

    Step 6 do none of this because it’s all crimes. I really hope you read the instructions to the end before starting.
