So I was trying to figure out how to spell Seder (I'm a pretty bad Jew I know!) and the Seder Wikipedia page has been vandalized with edits. Dunno if anyone has wiki access and can fix it or knows how to get it restored. I'm not that religious but I'd like to see it fixed, for the integrity of Wikipedia as well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passover_Seder ![[image loading]](http://i55.tinypic.com/e8jsdf.jpg)  | ||

Yeah it's useful for some things, like general knowledge, but it's far too easy for somebody just to slip in the year 1562 for 1526 and nobody knowing the difference. Nobody would find that for a long time. | ||

When looking up information that is not special to today then it's pretty good. WHY IS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE SAGWA wait... that is Sagwa right? Now I'm not sure. | ||

I really don't like the hate of wikipedia by many schoolteachers )= The problem is when they hate it for the wrong reasons... for example someone asks me a question like "what is the difference between apogee and perigee for an orbit" and I can't remember so I go to wikipedia and type in "apogee perigee." Of course inside of a few seconds I have the answer. Then they are like "wikipedia is no good" and I'm like "why is it no good" and they say "because anyone can change it." It makes me tilt I swear... I have to start explaining to them, schoolteachers the difference between using wikipedia as a literary/academic source and using it as an informative website. | ||

I have a few times tried to make the tiniest of changes to try to fuck something up where noone would notice (change two numbers in a date, add an extra I in WWII, switch two letters around in a word to create a spelling error) and those changes were too quickly changed. However, I've 3-4 times contributed to wikipedia (fixed simple gramatical or spelling errors) and those changes remained. As far as I'm considered, Wikipedia = the source of all human knowledge, and is good enough to be used as a source for like... everythingeverforever. | ||

Yeah, I worked in a Biology/biochemistry research lab for a while at school, and even the professors in there frequented wikipedia whenever they needed to look something up. They said its almost always one of the best places for them to find some quick, concise info. As for the issue of malicious editing, whenever I've seen something wrong on a wikipedia page (wrong date, or someone added in some totally wrong information), I am always shocked at how quickly it is fixed. I even had a friend in HS test it and switch up a date on some random page, and it was fixed within 5 minutes. | ||
