how about statistics and info i've seen stated on wikipedia have differed enough from medical text/peer review/whatever medical references to make a difference between life and death. every medical institution differs slightly, but it's all strictly reviewed and updated constantly to still fall within the range of safe practice. wikipedia is not, which is why it's not fucking medically viable for patient care.

if anyone should understand this you should, ross. there's a fine line between safe and death in medicine, and you want to debate whether medical information found on wikipedia is viable, reliable information for making life and death based decision?
I've never wanted to debate about that. I said:
- I bet doctors are less reliable than Wikipedia
- ...especially if they're going to use a source that isn't for medicine often enough that it causes that source to be blocked from hospitals
- you previously used "there's a reason" rhetoric then followed up with "i started working in medicine where it was all tons of "nope... shit's not reliable, so it's blocked/forbidden." and then you start to truly wonder about how real world "credible" it is as a definitive reference" which wasn't very illuminating re: a reason

I don't think doctors should be using Wikipedia or WebMD as a final source in life/death decision-making. That doesn't make Wikipedia any less of a meritocracy compared to the direct democracy approximated by Reddit.

Man, I'd really prefer to stay retired from the Wikipedia debate, but

This is a joke, right? Analysis of pop culture "texts" has been part of academia since at least Roland Barthes, and growing exponentially since Americans discovered deconstruction in the '70s.

I'm saying there's an inverse proportionality between fact-checked texts cataloging pop-culture content and ones for traditionally academic subjects. Deconstructing Mario is still academic; it does not supplant an encyclopedia entry on Mario.

Yes, it's always bummed me out how this board is full of posts about things, rather than memes and pictures of cats.

LOL I actually use Wikipedia a ton in school, but just for the sources. My textbook doesn't have shit for info about insulin resistance relating to receptor downregulation, but Wikipedia helped me find a peer reviewed article about it.

But yeah, the standard lab values quoted on Wikipedia never line up with my text (which doesn't lineup with the hospital I'm volunteering at).

It's horrible because of the training wheels & feel good nature of the place. The comments there are the absolute worst available. Their popularity-contest system of assessment rewards ingratiating behavior. Democracy if you're feeling optimistic; nauseating populism if you're not. Hell is other people is Reddit.
I don't like the obsession over the rewarding system either, but the optimism/feel good nature there is a pretty welcome break from the HATE that goes on at REEEELAPSE.
