Ever Used Wikipedia?
« on: November 21, 2006, 09:14:09 PM »

http://wikipedia.org

An open source site anyone can contribute to-does anyone here share their knowledge there?

Just wondering.

I've cleaned up some of the nonsense on Salmon but there remains a lot to be done.

Your turn!

I think it's actually pretty cool. A good source for information, you just need to take it with a grain of salt.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I guess Wikipedia is subject to the same types of things we are here at FWR. A week or so ago, maybe more, someone was posting links that ended up in some very questionable and inappropriate material.
