...you can access the Britannica online and for free....you can get almost any article about anything through search engines...so who needed Wikipedia?

I'm finding out...Wikipedia is a place for volunteers, as they proudly admit themselves...and it IS a message board and blog with the difference that it attempts to present itself as something more...

Only on Wikipedia will you get information about the existence of modern Assyrians. In other real sources you'll learn that there are people CALLING themselves Assyrians, which is true, there are...but only on Wikipedia will you be presented with "evidence"...evidence Harvard and Oxford and Cambridge and Princeton just couldn't find and don't teach. In fact, nobody does BUT Wikipedia.
