HA!..And what was that I quoted somebody saying about WIKI?...Oh, yeah, I remember..

Buster;241904]Yes and what About Wiki ?

Since Wikipedia is in reality a vast and changing document the answers can only be general. The information contained in Wikipedia, like all information, depends on the knowledge or the ability of the person giving the information. Where they don't have specific knowledge of a particular subject they rely on the accuracy of their sources of information, which may be limited or, in questions of opinion, may give a somewhat biased view, (as everyone tends to do) based on the conclusions they have reached from their own viewpoint and/or study.

Another problem with Wikipedia is that it is 'consensus driven' in that the policy regarding answers relating to opinion requires a consensus view to be put. This may be the correct view, or as we all know, 'the majority is not always right.' The majority once thought the earth was the center of the universe. Thus we end up with pooled ignorance.

On matters of opinion, such as religious or moral questions, there must be due recognition that any answer will inevitably reflect either the bias of the writer of the article or the current consensus view or what the author or authors think is the current consensus view. All of these could be wrong, either in whole or in part, but will naturally be well-presented as fact and with supporting argumentation, which may or may not be spurious, if one does not have the knowledge to critique it.

In other words, as with anything, learn to check your facts, no matter how well argued.

Wikipedia AGW Bias: Wiki Censor William Connolley Axed


Wikipedia Fires Crazy Left-wing Climate Editor
More on Wikipedia and Connolley – he’s been canned as a Wiki administrator
Wikipedia announced that it has fired its long time climate editor William Connolley, . Connolley,a software engineer and host at RealClimate, a left- wing AGW site that relentlessly punishes AGW skeptics and lavishly praises alarmists, has been found to have changed over 5,000 Wikipedia articles to promote AGW catastrophic speculation.
He has been observed altering history, most prominetly by removing the Medieval Warming Period. But he also has been found to have described the careers and accomplishments of AGW skeptics in the most unflattering way. For background, Lawrence Solomon writes in the National Post: [more]

Looks like another sleepless night for me.

I'm just sick over this and don't see how anyone with such outstanding character could do such a thing. He looks like he could easily be a distinguished university professor - maybe a Nobel Prize Winner - ..... how could he do this ???

And worse of all -- we know members of this MB use the Wikipedia as though it's the sacred truth.

How could he not know the dangers of MEDIA POWER and it's ability to sway the masses? How could he not realize the millions of people having uncontrolled anxiety and the endless hardships that would spread across the globe?

Yet when you see the little Bear in his pack you have to know deep down he's a tender, loving, caring individual.

I think he did know Steady. He knew exactly what he was doing, why and what the ramifications of his actions could be, but believed that the End would justify the MEANS.
Reminds me of some of our leaders, and you know who they are and what the END is that they are seeking.

Ya mean wiki can be changed Kinda like re-wrting history. Well we know what group is known for that.....USSSR anyone.

Actually, most anyone can change information already posted in Wikipedia - they don't do much in the way of checking credentials - the way I've understood it for these past several years.
That is one reason citing Wiki-pe causes me to doubt folks who would want to use it as proof of anything.
Now, they may have changed their vetting system, but I don't know that I'd believe that, either !

FAIRBANKS-
The two-ton “Frozen Gore” sculpture isn’t exactly a tribute. It’s a tongue-in-cheek critique of Gore’s vocal belief in man-made climate change, complete with hot air pouring out of his mouth.
