[TheBluesader]

You know how Wikipedia works right? It's actually a pretty credible source if you're smart about what you read.

If you have to be "smart" about what you read from an encyclopedia, it isn't a "pretty credible source."

That said, I myself use it all the time. It doesn't matter if it's truthful or not - if Wiki says it, then it is.

I thought THAT'S how Wiki worked.
