Wikipedia is, probably, one of the most valuable internet based resources humankind ever had. Millions of volunteers spent hundred millions of man hours editing Wikipedia entries.
Just because you do not understand its value, doesn’t mean that you should belittle it or brag that you don’t use it.
Please, take some time to check with Wikipedia next time - maybe you will learn something useful.
The reason many university professors do that is because they want you to learn how to do an independent research, so that one day you can become a Wikipedia editor yourself and start contributing back to the community.
And just because a few rogue users find ways to slip past the regular editors and vandalize few entries here or there, doesn’t diminish tremendous value that millions of the Wikipedia volunteers had created over the years.
@Banjo2rise, we have talked about this before - you really need to do your homework and learn where the polite discourse crosses the line into disruptful disagreement.
Honestly, if you think that it is amusing to read your comments that lack proper grammar, promote controversy, or glorify ignorance - you are wrong.
