[QUOTE="MissouriExile, post: 468300, member: 6430"] Like most things in life there is no such thing as absolute black and white when looking at Wikipaedia. Wikipaedia has articles on a huge range of subjects not covered elsewhere. As the administrators noted; It should not be treated as absolute truth. It also provides a place for normal people to write articles about things they are knowledgeable about. Some of the things written will conflict with what others think they know about the subject. (look at cattle today) From such things we learn and maybe grow. Articles are constantly reviewed by research people and garbage rooted out. The trash sometimes found should instruct our children in critical thinking. How many of us take T.V. commentators at face vaue? Critical thinking is becoming a lost skill. It's just another tool to use in research. Blocking it is much like burning books on subjects we object to. Jon [/QUOTE]
