WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHY?
WHY?

Why do people continue to get their info from that site? Everyone knows that people can change the infomation and make it anything they want.

Stupid Perez Hilton congratulated Lady Gaga on her birthday yesterday and then found out her birthday isnt for another week.. Why, you ask? Because his source was Wikipedia!

Ya, some things are innevitably going to be true on there but some are not going to be... so STOP.

I hate it when people have the audacity to quote Wikipedia as a "source."

HMMPH.

I like wikipedia. Its a good source when you actually need information. Everytime ive used wikipedia as a source for a project or paper ive done really well. Sure people can edit it but someone who works at wikipedia is probably modding it for that reason.
