Re: Wikipedia is at it again

As absurd as some of it is, Wikipedia IS a valid source anymore. Or, at the very least, it's a repository for other, reliable sources. There's at least five times a day that something catches my interest and the first place I go to learn more about something is Wikipedia. Not because their information is always 100% correct or because it's always neutral, but because the information there is always backed up by outside sources which, by and large, ARE sourced and professional.

Dismissing it out of hand is BS, as is comparing it to youtube. Any jackass with a webcam can throw up whatever screechingly shrill conspiracy theories or remix of XXXXXX commercial and answer to no one but the people who harass them on their Comments section. Wikipedia, for the most part, enforces it's standards as far as sourced information goes.

Which brings us full circle. There have been a handful of MU-mentions in 'legitimate' gaming magazines. Just not enough.
