...it is inappropriate to cite Wikipedia as a source, because it is updated in real time. So from the time you cite a Wikipedia page to the time another person looks up your citation, the page may have changed. Citations are usually only applicable to static publications that do not change once they are published. Wikipedia is not a static publication, it is dynamic!—it changes every minute. In this sense, Wikipedia is not a reliable citable source.
How reliable is Wikipedia as a general resource? Very reliable. Most of the content on Wikipedia is accurate, and many subjects are updated faster than the news. But, Wikipedia is subject to being edited by almost anyone and any time, and the edits may be biased, out of date, incorrect, or malicious (vandalism). Therefore, it is advisable to double-check what you learn in Wikipedia against other sources.
Keep in mind that many volunteers monitor Wikipedia for errors. Since there are so many people reading the articles and monitoring contributions using the Recent Changes page, and using watchlists, incorrect information is usually spotted and corrected quickly.
Some argue that new errors are also introduced all the time, so that the overall accuracy rate is not really improving. Nevertheless, by encouraging people to help with correcting articles, validating content, and providing useful references, errors will eventually be greatly reduced.
The more accurate Wikipedia becomes, the more it attracts additional contributors. It is a self-reinforcing cycle!
Whatever happened, it happened for good. Whatever is happening, is also happening for good. Whatever will happen, that too will be for good. What have you lost for which you weep? What did you bring with you, which you have lost? What did you produce, which has perished? You did not bring anything when you were born. Whatever you have taken, it is taken from Here. Whatever you have given, it is given Here. You came empty handed and you will go the same way. Whatever is yours today, will be somebody else's tomorrow And it will be some other's later. This change is the law of the universe And the theme behind my creation.
-Krishna.
You shall not steal nor kill, Nor speak a lie, Be angry with no one, Neither scorn another man; And never glorify thyself and insult others These are the means to inward purity These are the means to outward purity This is the way to please the Lord.
-Basava
Truth is our father, Truth is our mother, Truth is our kith and kin, Swerve from the path of righteousness And almighty shall never be impressed
The power of knowledge destroys ignorance;
The power of light dissipates darkness;
The power of truth is foe of all untruth;
The sharana's experience of god is the sole cure of worldliness;
- Lord Kudala Sangamadeva - Basavanna
Don't rob, Don't kill, Never ever lie
Don't get angry, Don't think negative about others
Don't self describe, Don't tease others
This is the way of self respect, this is the way to get respected by the world.
This is the way of impressing my lord Koodala sangam deva. -Basavanna
Quote: "Wikipedia is the celebration of democracy. Probably the only place in the world where democracy actually exists now. Where you have the real power to bring about a change, a power which you have, just becaue your contribution is genuine, not because you were born in a particular family, or because you occupy a certain office, or because you have got money, or even because you have a university degree. So here, you can do things if you CAN do things." [Courtesy by WP User:Austria156]
