No because the info on wikipedia is not precise, im in college now and teacher honestly hate wiki pedia. Wikipedia, is a source that everyone can edit, so most information might be true, but some are false.

[Mr. Fedora]

It's easier to find information as everything is on one page most of the time. Teachers are supposed to teach you how to find information and wikipedia is completely countering that.

That and literally anybody can change it, usually it is people that know what the fuck they are talking about though

[Mr. Fedora]

To all people who think anyone can change anything on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:...ion_policy

Confirmed accounts on some I believe it says?

I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to get one...

[Sumix]

I just think teachers don't like the fact that you can go on Wikipedia and search for something then get legitimate information cited from multiple sources that easily. Teachers want students to use other resources such as books and other sites that they themselves deem legitimate.

[LovelyLad]

Because they want you to actually spend time looking for articles or essays through other websites that the school pays for. Many of my teachers know that the whole "Wikipedia is all fake" statement is a lie but you'll still find many who legitimately believe it and discredit anything taken from the site.

You sound very unfamiliar with wiki's, don't spread your bullshit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Introduction

''Don't be afraid to edit – anyone can edit almost every page''

now what, you sound to be unfamilliar, don't spread your bull shit around.

[The RooT]

They 'dis-like' it because they don't understand the fact that Moderators/Administrators actually have to approve the edits, They think anyone can just go and edit as they please. And they also don't like that some of the information is outdated there.

[Dex‌]

gee i wonder why

[Dex‌]

To all the people that state, "It could be easily changed just by anybody.".

Do you understand how Wikipedia works?

> No

😑

It literally can.
All you need is an account and 10 edits and you can start editing the semi-protected pages which is usually the good shit.

[Antonthegreat]

because everything can be edited in a moments notice

[Brandon1027]

I just use the sources a Wikipedia page has for a certain topic.

[Dex‌]

sorry dex mmaster i will not be hq again 😑

Like that one nigga said above
You wouldn't be able to fuck with pages that are popular
And even non popular pages, you can't just plaster dicks either

[HF User]

Well, there is a pretty obvious reason for this.
In the early 2000s, the spam and protection wiki bots weren't nearly as good as they are now, I can't stress enough.
So, a few teachers, professors, saw their students citing all this garbage.
They ended up spreading the ill word of Wikipedia in workshops.

[chzq]

They hate it because it's like a cheat sheet.... They want you to do the research yourself

[idolizegianna]

Yea my teacher said the same thing. It's true though anyone can change it

[Hug-]

I hated when they did that... it really annoyed me...
