Reliability of Wikipedia.

[Kyuuketsuki]

I admire the way you stick to your guns,regardless of criticism . I'm assuming you're being principled rather stubborn.(Tigger doesn't like stubborn,he thinks it's sign of stupidity)

LOL. Oh I don't deny there's an element of stubbornness to me and undoubtedly it comes into play in both the Wiki and the Ledger scenarios however I do think my concerns about Wiki are justified (I have genuine reservations about the way it works (user supported with no specific requirements for relevant qualification or experience, the fact that it is for cointentious subjects more like a forum than a reference) plus possible problems concerning plagiarism and uniformity), the way it is administered (moderators hiding behind handles bugs the hell out of me, accountability I suppose), the way it is used (scraping) and the subsequent way it punches way above its weight (that it's use as a source/resource is far greater than it should be considering what it is).

As it turns out I disagree with you on each of those topics. I don't have the slightest problem with disagreeing. I hope I'm able to change my position on any topic if I come across a compelling reason. So far I see our views on the topics mentioned more as a matter "different' than right vs wrong--of course you may well disagree with my perception on that too.

Same ... I just need more of a reason than popular opinion to change my mind. I concede that if everyone but me thinks otherwise it gives me pause for thought though in my defence I believe I am the only UK national to dislike Abba when it's entirely obvious they are pants (why doesn't everyone else understand this?)
