Well, no. 2 + 2 = 5. 2 + 2 = 1. Both are contradictions, both are wrong.


Which is why I said "likely". Not only do you use incorrect terms you also don't understand when the correct ones are used. Irritating.

Wrong usage of words can happen to anyone. Just relax. Admit it. And move on.

I still think Wikipedia is reliable. Only an idiot would be believe anything like that would true out of the mind.

Actually, I believe that Sasuke is a fairly gaytarded character--and he's gay for Natuto (ergo, Naruto-sexual).

Therefore, FACT.

ERRONEOUS.

NARUTO-SEXUALITY is a recognized and accepted lifestyle. Sasuke is gay for Naruta; therefore, he is a NARUTO-SEXUAL.

Except that argument invalidates everything but direct personal experience.

Good point.

You can usually find links to good sources from the Wikipedia articles though, they're pretty well-kept.

Anything that is highly famous will always have it's cridics.

Example, Wikipedia. roll eyes (sarcastic)

That is completely besides the point of Wiki being a reliable information source, or not.

Wrong can mean unsuitable, and an unreliable source, is unsuitable to use.

I did admit it. I'd prefer that you actually told me I used the wrong word instead of this bullshit.

Wikipedia is a good source of material. Anybody can edit it, but the thing is the people that run Wikipedia make sure whats being written is truthful facts.

Of course it is reliable. Have you noticed that when a troll vandilises an article with false source, the edit it out knowing it proven to be wrong? The people behind wiki make sure what they put in is the truth. I get my source from wiki all the time. smile

Wikipedia isn't a valid source?

Wikipedia exists for pure entertainment, nothing more. Kinda like Bardock.

I'm confused. Why does JacopeX fail at--I'm not exaggerating here--everything? Seriously. Pretty much everything he writes is mixed with a good helping of failure.

"Anything that is highly famous will always have it's cridics.

Example, Wikipedia."

Anyway, Wikipedia is wrong because it contridicts itself, not because it doesn't know some shit about a retarded anime.


Wikipedia does not contradict itself, the people who write and edit the articles can, though.

Just because stuff that's obviously false gets edited out doesn't mean wrong info still doesn't get put in there.

I hope you don't ever try and use it as a source for something like a school paper, because no one with any common sense would accept that.

Wiki's alright. It's a good starting point usually if one is alien to a subject.
