Quote:
Because Wikipedia is an ongoing work to which, in principle, anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in important ways. In particular, older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while newer articles more frequently contain significant misinformation, unencyclopedic content, or vandalism. Users need to be aware of this to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation that has been recently added and not yet removed (see Researching with Wikipedia for more details).
In addition to that I would add, "not to mention advocacy pretending to be objective information." Much of this stuff gets disputed, but even so, it can easily be "corrected" back to the advocate's position. The comment about the kind of playoff format used as being "similar to double elimination" was obviously opinion, and obviously not factual, since it is actually not very much like double elimination at all in very important ways.

I guess my shallow drive-by kind of trolling was that, in my opinion, you excercised the same liberties that you condemed the other poster and wikepedia for exercising.

It just struck me as ironic.....no biggie...i still care as much about you as I always have!

No irony there; I don't claim to be an encyclopedia.

And besides, I did not "condemn" wiki - I pointed out the truth about wikipedia; a truth that they also publish on their site.

What "other poster" did I condemn?
