it isn't a SOURCE period

2019-11-17 01:38:52 UTC  

some articles are obvious horse shit

2019-11-17 01:38:52 UTC  

It's an aggregator of sources god dammit

2019-11-17 01:38:52 UTC  

it's a reference

2019-11-17 01:38:55 UTC  

ehhh, everything's a source

2019-11-17 01:39:03 UTC  

it just depends on how accurate that source is

2019-11-17 01:39:06 UTC  

hence my point

2019-11-17 01:39:12 UTC  

but a lot of wikipedia is pretty accurate

2019-11-17 01:39:14 UTC  

What if your source got them from someone else yes. That doesn't make him a source, makes him a second source and your primary sources over at

2019-11-17 01:39:17 UTC  

goto the original

2019-11-17 01:39:28 UTC  

a lot of wikipedia is sourced

"I'm a source." -Falco, 2019

2019-11-17 01:39:44 UTC  

However it can be noted

2019-11-17 01:39:52 UTC  

There are apparently false claims about Tim pool in his Wikipedia article

2019-11-17 01:39:52 UTC  

wikipedia is good enoug fro a plebe

2019-11-17 01:40:02 UTC  

not for a jounralist or an author

2019-11-17 01:40:06 UTC  

But when he went to go and get it corrected, Wikipedia said no, because Huffington Post was a better source than the man himself

2019-11-17 01:40:07 UTC  

~NEVER a scientist

2019-11-17 01:40:22 UTC  

So they chose Huffington Post fake article over tim himself saying that it's fake

2019-11-17 01:40:29 UTC  

there IS no 'BETTER SOURCE'

2019-11-17 01:40:33 UTC  

only a 'source tree'

2019-11-17 01:40:38 UTC  

damn i hate that notion

2019-11-17 01:40:47 UTC  

if more than one source, include BOTH

2019-11-17 01:40:51 UTC  

don't choose the best

2019-11-17 01:40:53 UTC  

yes if they are a little controversial in left wing circles. there are some srticles edited by fucking lefties

2019-11-17 01:41:11 UTC  

the Gamergate-based articles mainly

2019-11-17 01:41:17 UTC  

(IE. Zoe Quinn, Anita, etc)

2019-11-17 01:41:29 UTC  

most other articles I've seen are fine

2019-11-17 01:41:34 UTC  

Wow. 300 old

2019-11-17 01:41:37 UTC  

a source tree is invaluable in establishing credibility

2019-11-17 01:42:06 UTC  

the more sources have nuggets incorporated from many perspectives, the stronger the story/report

2019-11-17 01:42:10 UTC  

When 900 old you reach, look as good you will not.

2019-11-17 01:42:22 UTC

2019-11-17 01:42:29 UTC
