um, isn't that by definition what the whole wikipedia is? publicly editable?


heh, I love religious zealot tree hugger ideological open sourcers, with blinders on...a virtual barrel of monkies

I don't know about any of the "religious zealot tree hugger" stuff but Wikipedia is part of the open source or "copy left" philosophy. Wikipedia has more articles than any encyclopedia in the world. It is true that vandals can add anything they want but that isn't a major problem on Wikipedia most of the time. Let me give you an example.

That edit to the Markus Rühl article which said "night of homosexuals" was made on 15:50, 11 March 2007. The 'revert' that reverted that edit back to it's normal state was made 15:51, 11 March 2007. That's 1 minute later.

Well, I don't know how it could have been reverted back in one minute considering I got a pm with a link and it was there, therefore it was up long enough for someone to change it and let me know about it, and for me to see it.

That happened in 1 minute. Wikipedia has a 'history' of all of the edits of any article. Here is the history from the Markus Rühl article.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Markus_R%C3%BChl&action=history

The edit prior to the vandal was made by me on 01:59, 10 March 2007. The vandal's edit was made on 15:50, 11 March 2007. It was reverted on 15:51, 11 March 2007.

The benefit of Wikipedia is it let's you see the IP of the vandals.

Even if you crack the proxy, it'll just lead you back to some fool's unsecured WiFi box.  ;D

my point exactly...left-winged idealogists wearing rose-colored glasses, hoping the wikipedia will swallow up the "for pay" world of information.

Because, ya know, the anonymous general public is both 100% trustworthy, and 100% always correct*. Digg is another great example of this tree-hugging ideology that went sour despite the many angry zealots constantly proclaiming otherwise.

Adonis contributes to Wikipedia.  Look at how it's rewarded him.

You need another heading under "areas of bodybuilding"

Along with Natural bodybuilding there is also "Clean" bodybuilding which usually refers to a person who has used illegal substances before and has now been clean for 2 or so years.  There really is no clear definition between the two but it's been discussed on here before.  Maybe you can get some other peoples definitions of Clean Vs Natural

(i'm still reeling with laughter)...anyhow, yea DP, quality info to be found. Better than Flex or Muscle & Fitness... ::)

Looking into my crystal ball: I see Wikipedia contracting to a list of links organized by topic. No one will go there for information, no information will be posted. It will become a husk -- similar to the way GeoCities went. It will become another DMOZ -- organized, like I said before, in wiki-search and topic format.

Bodybuilders are better off making a MySpace, Bebo, Friendster (on the comeback), or Facebook page. Or all of them. With a nice little picture and some links for your wiki entry...and pray no one fucks with it in such a way as not to raise red flags (such as TA just did).

Wikipedia has over 1,681,333 articles on it's English language version alone. Over 552,000 articles on it's German version, Over 455,000 articles on it's French Version, Over 208,000 articles on it's Spanish Version, and it's Norwegian, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and Polish versions all have over 200,000 articles.

Wikipedia is the 8th most visited website on the planet today. 11th in the last 3 months.

Wikipedia has over 6,000,000 views per day.

Wikipedia has over 3,808,942 registered user accounts.

Wikipedia is the most peer-reviewed publication publication on the planet.

A study by 'nature' concluded that Wikipedia and Encyclopædia Britannica had about the same rate of errors.

Although because Wikipedia is being changed 24/7 it's impossible to know at which point what you're reading is factual or not. Which is probably why it's not the best thing to source. However if you're simply a laymen starting to learn about a topic, Wikipedia is one of the best places to learn. Obviously you want to compare to sources but that's true for any source.



P.S. If you can provide a better free picture then I'll replace TrueAdonis' picture with the one you provide. Hey, Maybe one of yourself?

Someone provide a picture of a natural bodybuilder (Maybe themselves) that they own the copyright to and I'll replace the TrueAdonis picture with that one. The only reason I've got the Adonis picture there is because there is no better free alternative.

True Anus being their example of a "bodybuilder" just shot to hell any credibility Wipikedia had.




That, and their claim that Markus Ruhl won the "Night of Queefs" in 2002!  ;D

I can't. I already explained why.

Moreover, If you really want me to do something for you then you need to start helping me out. E-mail some Pro bodybuilders and if they can provide you images to use in their Bodybuilder articles.

If you want the picture removed then you find me another free one.  I'm not going to waste time looking just because you don't like it.
