Quoting Russell Coker (russell@coker.com.au):
One thing that's always annoying is when people make wild claims offering no evidence at all and then criticise people who reference Wikipedia.
Classic confirmation bias.
Obligatory Wikipedia link follows. ;-> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confirmation_bias
Actually Andrew and I have a history of debates that end when I cite references to support my claims and he refuses to provide any. You can consulte the list archives for examples. Of all the occasions when I've been involved in a debate about the accuracy of Wikipedia I can't recall a single occasion when the person criticising Wikipedia has offered ANY external references. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
