No. Fuck you Snopes. Your site is continually full of bullshit. Anyone who donates to either Snopes or Wikipedia is a god damn fool. The Internet would evolve better tools if both of these pieces of shit went away.
@djsumdog I think overall Wikipedia has done more good than harm. Yes it’s administered by 4,000 insufferable idiots with political motivations, but at least I can read about the global history of snowmen. And it has greatly increased awareness of free culture.
@LukeAlmighty@alex I posted it elsewhere in this thread, but I'll put it here too. Larry Sanger did a great post about the fall of the platform he founded. There is a lot of stuff that's fine on the great wiki, but anything slightly controversial suffers from horrific bias:
If you're going to use Wikipedia, always do two things:
1. Read the Talk page first. There's a lot of good stuff in there 2. Go back in the history to a random point at 5 years and 10 years. See how the article has changed.
