    I was reading up on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and I came across this:

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After bizzy bone got raped by a bone in my pants tupac died of aids and they made the song "Tha Crossroads," and it sucked so bad that it was featured on the re-release of the album and, upon its release as a single, in 1996, earned the group a woody award and tied The Poopies' 32-year record for fastest-rising boner. This, along with welfare-anthem "Penis," rocketed the album's sales past five million copies (domestically).</div>

    ???

    Teacher's always say that, because they don't want people to cite it as a source. Almost all of the time (especially if it's a big article), people check it regularily and it's factually correct. I use it as a building block for all my essays, assignments, etc.

    i know it doesnt.. but the articles are opinions.. meaning they are not based on facts and if it's opinion, it could be fake

    People have to cite their sources when they write those articles. Scroll down, and you'll see them.

    Maybe we should make an article about JBB on Wikipedia.

    That would be interesting.

    This is the kind of crap that makes people pissed off with you all the time. That website has very good people writing for it that do a better job then most professionals that publish books you can pick up at your University. I've had to reply on something like this before that teachers do not like Wiki because it is free and provides the same information that you can find anywhere else on 90% of all subjects. If something on there isn't proofed it will be altered by the better members until proof is shown.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">Maybe we should make an article about JBB on Wikipedia.

    That would be interesting.</div>

    The head team would delete it immediately. JJB can only be linked to from the NBA or another type of basketball article.

    The reason why teachers do not like Wikipedia is because it gives you a free-bee with web searching. All you have to do is go on Wikipedia and you find out pretty much anything you want.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting Umair15:</div><div class="quote_post">i know it doesnt.. but the articles are opinions.. meaning they are not based on facts and if it's opinion, it could be fake</div>
    They are based on facts. Where have you ever seen any opinions in a wikipedia article? It's not allowed

    I dont know about M Two One, but I'm not getting pissed at you or anything. It's cool. Like I said, the only reason why teachers dont like Wikipedia is because it makes searching for stuff on the net way too easy. Usually they want you to google things up and more practice.
