i think Wikipedia is really interesting because all those its initial purpose was to um y a know inform people of a wider variety of things, like an encyclopedia, it has turned into so mcuh more, the way people are always gonig in and editing it. when i first realized how much people time people actually spend editing these pages and discussing them, i was shocked. i mean there are a lot of things i am passionate about that have a wiki page, but i dont think i would ever spend thst much time editing the page. some people seem s little too concerned that the INFORMATION on a specific page fits what they desire it to. i think its great that everyone with internet access can PARTICIPATE in the upkeep of the wiki pages, but it seems to also cause some endless disputes. um yeah i cant think of anything to sayyyy at the moment i dont know i dont know i dont know i dont know i dont know i dont know i dont know i dont know i dont know um um um lalalalalalala. oh! i know, i dont think high schools should be all like “DONT USE WIKIPEDIA, IT LIES” becuase honestly there are some really obscure subjects out there that may not have a valid website that gives out informstion, and wikipedia, although it can be edited by wnyone, is better than nothing. most of my experiences with qikipedia have been pretty good. whenever me and my friends get in fights over stupid shit, someones always like “IM GONNA LOOK IT UP ON WIKIPEDIA” and whatever wikipedia says, we hold as true. now that i think about it, i really hope its true cause i have based a lot of arguments and onformation i got off that site…….so uh yeahhhhh…idk….one time when i was bored i was on wikipedia for an extremely long time jsut looknig up random shit that may come in handy in the future. i dont think i have used any of it yet, so it was probably a complete waste of time ….uhhh… yeah i liek writing about nothing…im really tired…i need to shower….iii onyl got 3 hours of sleep …..idk idk idk idk idk idk idk idk lolololololololololol.

I can totally relate to when you friend’s argue over stupid stuff and someone says “I’m gonna look it up on wikipedia.” I tend to do/say that often.
And the whole PARTICIPATION thing and how it causes disputes…that would be a definite duh! Just the past couple days in class, I’ve wanted to kill Steve for saying five million things at once and trying to dictate what he says and make it sound intelligent.
