Week 7 - Pot Luck

I have not actually edited anything on Wikipaedia, or Wikipedia I suppose they might like to spell it. That is the majority of my distaste in regards to their entries, their appalling language skills. I often feel too tempted to "fix" things, just a little. I never usually get past this, as I just treat the site as a way to find directions to actual sources rather than as a source itself. So by not delving too deeply, I'm not usually encountering that most heinous of crimes (apparently), that of presenting opinion without acknowledgement that it is such. As the Kostakis reading pointed out even the people who review what material is pertinent can't agree on what is pertinent, or even if the process is necessary or problematic. A sorry state to be sure, it's a wonder anything makes it onto that site.
