@FarwinPhoenix @An_ca_te @KainYusanagi There is a meaningful issue that when you start digging through wikipedia sources (when they are legitimate) they are not always freely accessible. Wikipedia is flawed, but its open source approach to information is a big reason it's such a popular frontline response.

@MelissaGill999 @ChoughConnie @ChuckGr***ley @realDonaldTrump @JoeBiden @KamalaHarris Okay, crash course in FedSoc and modern jurisprudential history. Originalism reemerged in the early 70s,(Wikipedia says 1971, but putting a single year on it is too precise) . However, it was another full decade until FedSoc was founded by law students at Harvard and UChicago.

@natcombigirl Problem with wikipedia is that there are too many people out there who think it's cool to put fake, exaggerated, or just plain bull**it information on topics.
There are times when it works the way it's supposed to, but it fails almost an equal amount of times.

The problem wasn't that they were saying it was untrustworthy, it's the fact they didn't explain how to use it. Wikipedia is a powerful tool, but it is easily manipulated. What isn't as easily manipulated though are the sources it cites, which are all at the bottom of each page.

Also if you know different languages, you've got the option to change the language and see the article in the chosen one. For some reason, German wikipedia tends to be a little better that the English one. My biggest problem w/ wikipedia are affirmations without sources

@Hereticalmist @natcombigirl Wikipedia is not a hegemonic “it” — it’s run by a community of editors. If edits are shot down it’s probably because it’s not up to par in terms of verifiability and neutrality, wc are pillars of wiki. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a soapbox.

@natcombigirl The issue is that you could be utilizing a Wikipedia article that, at that exact time, might have inaccurate information that hasn’t been edited out yet. The issue is that there’s no guarantee that the article you’re reading is accurate at that very specific time
