Author Topic: Why do teachers pull the "No Wikipedia!!!" card?  (Read 4224 times)

Since no one has mentioned it yet use the references cited in the Wikipedia article as a starting ground for actual references to look through.

You can't be loving serious.
maybe if you scroll down a bit further my friend you can find a post explaining the issue

Makes me wonder if teachers check Wikipedia on a regular basis just to make sure you don't steal from it.

Well that's nice to know

time to start keeping an eye on my teachers, then


forget the teachers, i have a project due, just going to use wikipedia and give some broken link
and when they say "this link doesn't work" i'll say "it was just working a week ago"

Or you could stop constantly being a human stuff stain and do something correctly for once.

But Setro, that's cheap

You could as well, you know. An idiotic thing to do yes; but it doesn't in any way justify calling him a "human stuff stain."

Well, Setro has a repeated history of being absolutely worthless and doing everything wrong.

what the forget?
where did you come to draw this conclusion?
the forums seem to be ok with me now, and you just loving jumped out of nowhere and started to flame me
like someone who lives under a rock

i've used wikipedia once in one of my reports
the teacher writes a note

"maxx you cannot just copy and paste, please redo your project."

i write angrily on the page and turn it in
"i object, how can in your own dim mind see that i have used the demanding resourceful site that is wikipedia for the entire page? you do not as i must tell you know that i have copy and pasted, because i haven't, i have spoken on a paper that i have written for a demanded grade that is in my own words ENTIRELY. you have absolutely no idea how far past the line of discrimination over this site you have gone yet you still ridicule the site for having a possibility that people that are very good users can edit the site to make the page more intelligent, please think for the next time you write this futile statement that you think before you speak."

she goes
"ok i'll let you slide on this one."

she has never done this to me again

lol holy stuff if this actually happened i am going to laugh sooo hard
she probably let it slide because she thinks you're special needs and she feels bad for you.
