What is this Wikipedia you speak of Jeff? Is it a lost Island in some stray country :laughing9:

It's good if one checks out what is written. They do sometimes bring out information that is often passed over by other online encyclopedias or other informational media type outlets.

For instance back some months ago I mentioned the elite Bohemian Grove complex and my friend laughed me to scorn. He said: "That's a big myth and there's no such place except in the minds of conspiracy nuts." When I sent him the Wikipedia info he recoiled with: "You can't believe anything posted on that site."

I later managed to get him a copy of the documentary done by ABC on the Bohemian Grove and other such documentation and he's been quiet as a mouse ever since.

But with any source one needs to be objective and document the information before going public.

Yeah, they closed access to the US for 24 hours to make a point...

Any information you get, whether from a website, paper, radio, newspaper, or even a book are always bound to have some errors.. That's life :tongue3:

I use Wikipedia mostly for looking up history of bands and its members....

If you think google is any better, it's just a search engine and all the info there can't be trusted either. Ask Felix Fossidittle, and he'll tell you the same.

Felix is starting to get some google time now and it's all thanks to me :laughing9:

Wikipedia is a good starting poiont as a reference when doing research on certain things. It's not a tell all, know all site for sure. As for Wiki going dark on protest day, I think it's a good thing. If you use google you'll notice a black banner across their name today.
I urge everyone to sign the petition on google here-

These bills are nothing but a mask to further control the population of this country, by limiting what we view or say. It's all about Hollywood losing money in the movie industry, due to illegal piracy. This legislation would in effect, enable law enforcement to take down an entire domain due to something posted on a single blog, an entire, largely innocent online community could be punished for the actions of a tiny minority. The legislation has been opposed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Yahoo!, eBay, American Express, Google, Wikipedia, Reporters Without Borders, and Human Rights Watch. EFF’s blog post titled “What’s On the Blacklist?” listed media-sharing services Vimeo and Flickr and e-commerce community Etsy as websites that could be put at risk under the Stop Online Piracy Act. If this passes, say goodbye to America as we know it.
