There is also the fact that according to a news report there are people from
various organisations editing entries to make them look more favourable for
themselves.  For example the DeathLords were a bunch of misguided
individuals rather than the blood thirty hell demons they really were lol!

  No, I considered that if I wanted to pass the class, I'd accept what they
said they would accept.  As for Truth and Knowledge, what is the truth?  The
way I see it, there are three types of truth ... your truth, my truth, and
THE truth; a for knowledge ... how do we know that the knowledge we have is
true?  We trust that those in charge of our upbringing and education woudl
know knowingly steer their proteges down the wrong path ... could happen?
has it happened? Yes, however, we all like to believe that it won't happen
to us.



  But anyway, no need to further take up space on a relatively minor event
when this is a mail list for projectaon.  Whatever methods these volunteers
deem fit to use is fine by me, I am not the one working on the project(s).



  So, as of this e-mail, I am dropping the subject.

  lol yeah well your professors have a vested commercial interest in
maintaining their tenure
  and the supremacy and kudos of their own academic institutions when it
comes to being
  Guardians of Truth and Knowledge, did you ever consider that...? ;0)

    No, to be truthful, I was never aware that wikipedia was an org site.  I
have always seen it as a com site.  However, despite that, my main issue
with wikipedia is that a ton of the information has no sources cited for the
listing(s).  It is not like there is a division of personnel ensuring the
accuracy of what people input.  In any event, non of my professors accept
wikipedia as a valid source of information due to the incosistency and lack
of cite management.

      wikipedia.org is an org site, so you seem to contradict yourself. :-)

      Or does "org site" mean something other than a website whose domain
name
      ends in .org?
