lmao, the number of replies saying 'Wikipedia is unreliable anyway' (or words to that effect).

Both OP and another user have referenced reports highlighting that Wikipedia is actually a very accurate source for the most part. The only aspect that ruins its credibility a little is the fact that anyone can edit it - an aspect hugely misconstrued by school teachers who foolishly think the site comes with no edit moderation system. Most troll changes are removed within a day or so and they're usually pretty easy to spot.

What's the point making some inaccurate generalised comment about Wikipedia just to get another post in your post count?

Finally, Wikipedia itself wasn't really the focal point of the thread to begin with. It was seemingly more about what type of political statement Russia was issuing (albeit that's now irrelevant given it was just purely an error and they were merely aiming to take down one page)

All I have to say is that I'm extremely sorry for the millions of school children who now have to use a different site for their homework

Wiki just sometimes gives too much info and it confuses people, that's probs why teachers hate you using it.

:offtopic: To be honest Putin isn't really all bad, i don't mind him. Yes he's over the top sometimes but i agree with some of what he does, the US tries to boss everyone around.
