en·cy·clo·pe·di·a
A comprehensive reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects or on numerous aspects of a particular field, usually arranged alphabetically.
From this definition, drawing particularly from the words “comprehensive” and “reference” one might assume that wikipedia would contain accurate information on the literally millions of subjects covered on their site. Wikipedia see’s things in a different light, drawing from transcripts of Wikipedia developmental meetings, I can summarize the thought process that went into it.
Guy #1: Hey, you know who’s a really reliable and trustworthy source for an online encyclopedia?
Guy #2: Who?
Guy #1: Random people on the internet.
There it is. Since I am now officially influenced by Wikipedia, I will be opening my own strictly user created medical dictionary and diagnostics guide for everyone, titled “Sock’s Strictly User Created Medical Dictionary and Diagnostics Guide for Everyone, No Doctors Allowed”. Look for that in the coming weeks.
