No, you’re not listening. I am a teacher. Peers in my field tell students not to trust the information in Wikipedia articles because they are inaccurate since anyone can edit them. They are teaching a mistrust of Wikipedia solely because anyone can edit them. This has NOTHING, again, NOTHING to do with sourcing an academic paper.

That was me. Teachers tell students “it can’t be trusted because literally anyone can edit it.” Nothing to do with sources. Tech illiterate people or people manipulated by right wing media believe that Wikipedia has bad information

Nobody here ever said it can be used as a source

See the thing is tons of exhausted teachers just keep teaching the same shit every year; many of them teach the stuff they learned when they were in school. So a crazy number of them do in fact still teach kids that Wikipedia can’t be trusted because anyone can edit it

Also because they need a person on standby when Roxy and Joe inevitably quit
- Comment on Why exactly are nursing aids paid so poorly? 4 weeks ago:
It’s still the same as what they’re saying.
Why do the hours suck and how can they fix it? Hire more full time nurses. Why are they denied sick and vacation leave? Under staffing.
Why can’t/don’t they? Broken system

To be fair, I’d never thought about it before this post! Just an observation of my mental association I guess!
- Comment on Tune a fish 4 months ago:
As an American who was only ever said tuna or tuna sandwich, etc. I do think “Tuna fish” has an appealing flow (euphonious consonants without any blends) and the ish pairs well with ich in sandwich
In my mind, tuna fish is the shredded stuff in a can and tuna is bigger pieces

Smart tactic on their part. There’s no way I could have resisted either
- Comment on Not the same 5 months ago:
Occasionally, when a joke is trending, I get to see it 3 times in as many days. I sometimes wonder if it is copied because someone believes they can do it better than the source. But this is just white text on a red background.

- Comment on After 25 years, Wikipedia has proved that news doesn’t need to look like news 5 months ago:
I use Wikipedia all the time as a news source, especially on topics mainstream gets bored of. Mostly ongoing trial stuff that takes months and months to get updates.
It’s also great if you want background on a topic referenced in the news because it’s like an archive of every event that lead up to the point

If you check out one of those shops, they rotate through hundreds of different attempts that have failure or minor success throughout the year before one of the tik tok influencers gets it right and the sheep get in line, but not before trend vultures buy out the stock for their eBay scam

She was told to read and cite the other work. I take that as meaning she hadn’t intended to use her previous work as a source, but they wanted her to

While the coastguard was clear that they didn’t mean the bananas
this does not include perishable goods like foodstuffs.
Either way though, everyone here IS following maritime salvage law.
The “long established” rule that is that the owner has all rights to the cargo and wreck, but must compensate those who assist in recovery if the owner agrees to assistance
The British maritime law that keeps getting referenced was put into place initially to ensure that people would be compensated completely when assisting. Previously, when it was a raw ‘handshake’ agreement, there would be negotiations before helping, or Party A would screw over Party B with a low-ball reward, or Party B would just nope out of the situation out of fear of not getting reimbursed.
The shipping company in this situation sent a list of missing stuff. If you find missing stuff, you report it, and they know how much you should be compensated and make sure you get it. In this case, they want their expensive refrigeration equipment.

I do know that while I was getting all the family Christmas shopping done with Black Friday I saw a few buy now pay later offers. Most prominent was Pay Pal. The offer was if you use their buy now pay later feature with zero interest, they give you 5% in PayPal cash (whatever that means). I saw it several times, so I figure people were jumping on that

- Comment on Pedo planet 7 months ago:
Any root related to sex or sexuality has been perverted in English, or at least American English.
Just saying Homo means homosexual, trans means transexual, bi means bisexual, poly means polyamorous, and to MAGA, the word pronoun is more triggering than a swastika.
