vaxx:Did you read the article at all? It is talking about mirror source, when you're using Wikipedia article as a source for another Wikipedia article. Here is rule number one in the same link you presented. Wikipedia generally uses reliable secondary sources, which vet data from primary sources. If the information on another Wikipedia page (which you want to cite as the source) has a primary or secondary source, you should be able to cite that primary or secondary source and eliminate the middleman (or "middle-page" in this case). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source Please read and understand the content of the link you are providing. |

tintingz:You are only repeating after me. Why that? Yes, history mostly deals with facts because they are investigated.You are still repeating after me. OkGood. Simple, that is what i am telling you since and you are finding it difficult to let it sink into your head. From the same link you presented it said,Now, it appear to me you are not debating but just trolling, The page i posted on the Wikipedia report actually expose more than what you quoted averagely. It is essential you read the whole context So as to not give pseudo conclusion. Am tempted to ask if you are going there to read what suit your opinion or the entire Article. Kindly read carefully before present your claims.You are simply trolling me. Just admit. Learn and relearn. The hypothetical claim you read are not false. But claims under investigation. That is what hypothesis means. |

tintingz:You are a troller. I have state in my entire reply with you that wikipedia is a third party information center. An relying on it is not standard as it depends on other information. All the Wikipedia links i submit agree with that. No academia or any suitable scientific paper will ever reference Wikipedia. It is not a standard. So repeating after me, will not solve the initial flaws you committed . relying on such Wikipedia in the presence of reliable and trusted evidence is a complete hogwash It baffles me you are not learning but trolling. 1 Like |

vaxx:No. Myth are just fairytales. You are still repeating after me.No. Good. Simple, that is what i am telling you since and you are finding it difficult to let it sink into your head.No, I've been telling you the Wikipedia article has references. Now, it appear to me you are not debating but just trolling, The page i posted on the Wikipedia report actually expose more than what you quoted averagely. It is essential you read the whole context So as to not give pseudo conclusion. Am tempted to ask if you are going there to read what suit your opinion or the entire Article.Lol, now I'm trolling? My premise was about Wikipedia having references in their article therefore it is reliable in this case, you're the one trolling. You are simply trolling me. Just admit. Learn and relearn. The hypothetical claim you read are not false. But claims under investigation. That is what hypothesis means.My goodness. |

vaxx:Does Wikipedia attach reliable sources to their articles, yes or no? |
Re: Do You Think Juju Only Effects Africans? by vaxx: 12:44am On Dec 17, 2018 |
tintingz:i think the question you should ask is, does Wikipedia established itself as an authority? In which i will say no. Wikipedia rely on multiple source for its assertion. No doubt, but It employs no systematic mechanism for fact checking or accuracy like a well established scientific paper or academic websites. Here is an employee of the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit who owns the Wikipedia website, advising people: "Don't trust Wikipedia", and he explains why. Skip to time code 0:59 to hear what he says. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK-Tp4__f-0&x-yt-ts=1422327029&x-yt-cl=84838260 1 Like |

vaxx:Lmfao!!! Dude, does Wikipedia has reliable sources in their articles, kindly answer yes or no? The man in the video was only playing fair, he gave good reasons. "Don't trust Wikipedia, any articles without citations don't trust it, double check the citation and make your own decisions" Let assume Cambridge report was found in Wikipedia reference, is it reliable? Now, what if I clicked on the reliable sources cited on Wikipedia and started using them to support my claims, are you still gonna argue about that? Seriously, there is no difference searching on google for sources and collating them to prove a point. Now back to the argument, These reports here are saying another thing regarding your report. https://www.penn.museum/sites/expedition/ancient-egypt-and-black-africa/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/06/22/health/ancient-egypt-mummy-dna-genome-heritage/index.html https://geneticliteracyproject.org/2017/06/29/mummy-dna-ancient-egyptians-middle-eastern-todays-african-mixed-population/ Please don't tell me they are not reliable. |

tintingz:This is not an inteligent question ( sorry for the used of the words) what matter is if the evidence used by the Wikipedia on its own is a standard source Since Wikipedia can be edited by anybody regardless of their qualification, the reliability of their source become fragile. So what to do as independent researcher is to evaluate the accuracy of the article cited which is is a lot of work, if you want to do it right, but here's what it would involve. Pick the article. Find the most authoritative secondary and tertiary sources on that same topic. Read and correctly understand these sources. Evaluate how what you have learned differs from the content of the Wikipedia article. Try to figure out cause for the discrepancies, by examining the sources cited in the Wikipedia article. You will probably find that the article was pretty good, but with some weakness. After you have done all this work, you will be in a very good position to improve the article yourself. I used wikipedia also but adjust myself when an authentic and credible reference is available. The man in the video was only playing fair, he gave good reasons. "Don't trust Wikipedia, any articles without citations don't trust it, double check the citation and make your own decisionsThe Wikipedia employee " actually know that, it is ignorance to rely on such a secondary source. Rather follow the citation and cross check for authenticity. Let assume Cambridge report was found in Wikipedia reference, is it reliable?Good, you then verified cambridge report and scrutinized it and see if the report is exactly what is written on Wikipedia or it contain any form of bias. Now, what if I clicked on the reliable sources cited on Wikipedia and started using them to support my claims, are you still gonna argue about that?They are diffrence, wikipedia can be edited and written by anybody. All what you need is to be a registered member. And once you registerd, you are good to go. Such a webpage can be influence by self bias or financial gain. So it is always accurate to cross -check if what is found in such article cited by the editors is in agreements with what is found on the Wikipedia page. , Now back to the argument. These reports here are another thing regarding your report.Not disputing if one evidence is not accurate as any other, my argument is, An open source like wikipedia is not reliable which Wikipedia itself honestly agree except you. The volume of information in these weblinks you cited now is influenced by the opinion of the author just like many other books. So to tell the difference between it and Cambridge. Read their historical books or article on the same topic, You will see a difference for sure. What is and isn't true is up to how much proofing you are willing to do, and your own opinion will play a major part in your excepted truth. Cambridge is a trademark on her own, making her impacts on this topic a very robust conclusion. Such a citadel of learning will try as much to seprate itself from bias. It has a reputation to protect. Nonetheless it is an European university which should be bias by rejecting african supremacy. |

Quantum mechanic says that "nothing that is observed is unaffected by the observer" Everyone create their own truth, it doesn't mean everyone is right. Only does who do proper research are right. For me, there's no proof that juju is real |
