Wiki is fine for figuring out what 6cyl inline engines were offered in chevy trucks in 1953 but anything political looks like it was written by retardzana.

The massive banners constantly begging for money are getting ridiculous.

Lol.... An encyclopedia that others can edit isn't a resource I'd use for education.

Be real careful with chatgtp too Broodis. It can make up stuff that isn't real. There's a lawyer who almost lost his bar, because he used 6 cases that chatgtp gave him. None of which were real cases.

At no educational level is Wikipedia considered a valid academic source.

Right. But it's a good starting point to research a topic because of all of the footnotes.

I'm not talking about political topics btw

That's fine for information. If you're doing research for school, college, university, etc., it's the last place you're going.

wikipedia is disallowed as a 'quoteable source' at almost every educational institute, for a reason.


Yep, and they would have known that if they had any common sense or went to college.

I see your profile says you are an attorney. Just the JD? No LL.M? No other doctorate? Might as well be a welder.

LLMs are for foreigners and tax attorneys.

I wont begrudge you using wikipedia to not sound fricking dumb in this discussion.
