why wouldn't you just go to the citation directly and cite that?

What do you think about encyclopedias? Encyclopedias give you a dry, yet unbiased facts about any subject. The invention of google is fine for short , quick answers. Wikipedia, as a source of information, in which to base important information with, is a flawed and dangerous tool created by millennials.

Sanger and Wales were born in 1966 and 1968. Those are some really fricking old millenials.

I’ve always used Wiki as an “intro” source. If I wanted to keep going, I’d find other sources I also don’t use it for current events



I use wiki for pop culture purposes - who is that celebrity? When were they born? What are they dating/ married to/? Are they gay? Etc

I never use it as a source for political events

And we've found the guy that jerks off to Jen Pstupid.

Friend, you may be aware that recently the entire narrative surrounding the vast majority of President Trump's scandals has come crashing down. The facts do not agree with your narrative at all.

We've also found that everything y'all warned us about with Donald Trump has come true under Joe Biden.

So kindly go f*** yourself with a cactus.

Wikipedia is also not a source you moron. It is a synthesis of source material and thus subject to corruption as there is no guarantee the sources are balanced or even correct.

Are you brain dead?

Because the left controls journalism so cited articles may not contain a ounce of truth.
