    I don't know about them being plural, but he likes Werner Herzog and that's good enough to carry him a long way.

    does he mean bad lieutenant or does he think herzog is a movie himself? but yeah herzog is the motherfucking truth.

    um and re: guy who asked me what i meant by wiki apologists

    i just mean that i really think it's funny that there are people who are constantly defending wikipedia as this really great academic resource. like the one dude was like "aiyyo it's all or nothing: free speech or dictatorship" and i mean it was sort of a stupid point, but to respond with like WP:ANARCHY is pretty stupid too.

    and do i think wiki does something wrong? yes. there is an xkcd strip on the wiki entry about itself. that's "something"

    edit:

    "Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that can be edited by anyone and that aims to provide free encyclopedic information to its readers"

    the fact that the majority of people think wikipedia is "there" is a very big part of what is wrong with wikipedia.

    I'm not too happy them being able to just up and ban an entire group from editing, especially since they've touted wikipedia as this thing "for the people, by the people" but I guess if they have explicitly stated rules and they're broken, they're not exactly in the wrong.

    I'm going to have to side with Wikipedia here as the lesser evil, but yeah, they aren't ACTUALLY the people's encyclopedia. They are the encyclopedia of facts written by pedants who have no lives.

    The problem with Wikipedia is that most people don't realize that encyclopedias in and of themselves aren't good sources

    Wikipedia is as good as any encyclopedia, especially on major topics

    Which is to say, an overview and by no means comprehensive

    wikipedia has no editorial board, so there's no real purpose to claiming academic integrity when nobody's appointed to make sure that the integrity actually exists

    I would like to submit that the best Wikipedia articles are, in fact, those that pertain to the Cthulhu Mythos.

    Those suckers are exhaustive and well-written.

    On the one hand, I know Lovecraft made up the whole Cthulhu Mythos

    On the other hand, saying prayers to madness could prove to have unpleasant effects
