I see how they work...which is amazing, I mean that they would call themselves a place where any kind of knowledge exists...

I have no idea how they decide who gets to edit a section,,,what qualifications the person has to have...but they give him the keys and leave it up to other people to point out errors, and then they tell you that you need a consensus before they'll do anything AND remind you, self-pityingly, that they are only volunteers, so don't pile it on...when it's their own fucking fault that they allow such "knowledge" to be pedaled about.

A normal encyclopedia, like a real publisher, gathers an advisory board BEFORE printing a fucking thing,...they check their facts BEFORE putting their name to it...and they don't ask volunteers to check on them!

These guys are ass-backwards all the way...I think Wikipedia was started by someone who does not LIKE actual knowledge...someone three marbles above the level you need to see Jesus in a tortilla.
