The problem with Wikki is anyone can alter the info and there is no creditability attached.

yes there is... it's all the knowleable peers who read the stuff.... and will amend correctly.... there's no great conspiracy to deceive us all you know !

As i said, by definition, it's self levelling....

 

[Alarm]

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one

As pointed out it is probably 99% correct and anything not correct will eventaully be corrected, so what are the chances of landing on a page that is has wrong info?

I still use it and find it very useful

What is the truth?
What is fact?

Yes, it is probably 99% + accurate and i would suggest most of the errors are in topics/subjects general joe public would be unlikely to refer to.
However, with ALL information, it pays to check. you wouldn't want to look foolish believing everything you read on the t'interweb would you?

Agreed, other sources are researched, so anyone can put anything up on Wiki, until it's spotted, and altered, so not a reliable source of information. It's been known for celebs to have known inaccuracy written about them, and unchallenged, it remains.

Well i'm gobsmacked... this is one of the best things that have happened to me on the internet. This kind of accolade is without equal.

Firstly i'd like to thank my family and friends, oh and my manager...and last but not least....freddiemercurystwat..... without you none of this would be possible, and all this from one of the poorest examples of human genes i have come across in my time here.



Oh and a quick thanks to the DIYnot mods for letting idiots like this get away with such dross.....
