About Wikipedia
QAZ I wonder here, my dear ...
Oh, okay, okay, I know this is exciting 'm going to write. But do not emocioneis much, as I recall, my limit-of-exponential-decreasing readers who are not supposed to you're reading this.
As I was saying, I wonder QAZ here today, is it really the Wikipedia a reliable means to satisfy our greed for information? Does it suit our needs of everyday life, studies, or work? In short, is really useful and provides accurate information?
One could argue that, in fact, the Wikipedia can boast of having all those references in articles on science, history, economics ... But what about those issues that seems so trivial even sensible to determine whether they conform to reality?
For example, see the article on chop. It contains no references, yet makes statements that could lead to serious confrontation, "can have their etymology in the Valencian xulleta rib means." Without references, a Valencia could be injured in a conversation with a Catalan. But that's not all!
Notice also, for example, in a traditional English recipe: Jacket potato .
In the article, the author, whoever it was, was allowed to propose license roasting times for both potato for a conventional oven (2 hours) to a microwave oven (45 minutes).
funny that someone would be so stupid to think that those 45 minutes to microwave have some foundation, and decide, for example, go to the drawer in which the potatoes are stored in your home, get two or three of the biggest, washed well, and put one in the microwave for testing. That same stupid
would also probably looking for the door of the oven for twenty minutes to decide then and only then, he's tired of waiting so long, and that is a good time to see if someone has written something on your client instant messaging. Behaving
so not such an idiot, suggests the contact she had written him a warning two minutes to go and see the potatoes, obtaining answers within 30 seconds "and spent two minutes, Brais." Despite having realized the deception, not stupid decided to go check your potato in the microwave.
To do keep talking in third person: zero dear readers, when I reached the kitchen I saw too much light coming out of the oven, and when I opened the door, flames started coming out of it. Luckily, when I took the potato with no burned my hand, and finished it off on the floor, being completely black, inside and out.
I had to clean the oven, which is still yellow.
So now you know, when you see a Wikipedia article without references, beware: it could burn your house. So, no, not suited to our needs of daily life, definitely.
