Russian Dog Experiment

But as my chemistry teacher says, only an idiot with no life and nothing better to do would mess with a science page on Wikipedia then get excited over the resulting mistakes people would make, but a smart person who is actually there for the information could just fix the mistakes.
But I do hope this is fake. I can only imagine what that dog would be thinking if it was real.Then either your science teacher is mean spirited, talking out their ass, or simply a herpaderp. People with real experience and formal educations make up a near absolute majority of wikipedia editors. Now, this is going by a per-edit basis to separate one time editors from people who have tens of thousands of creditable edits.

Just because it's a publicly editable site doesn't mean it's unreliable. You know what else is publicly influenced? Your thoughts! Cocaine was first banned because of a wives' tale that said cocaine fed to the black slaves (It was used to increase productivity) would make them have red veins pulsing through their skin and rape every white woman they saw.

Every Wikipedia edit is checked by hundreds, if not thousands of knowledgeable people in both their field and WP edit policy. Now, before you go knocking on it, screw off, k? Thanks, you're doing the world a favor.

Wikipedia is not a peer reviewed source. That doesn't mean that's its factually incorrect but what it does mean is that you use it at your own risk. You cannot back up an argument by using Wikipedia. You will find yourself having to back up Wikipedia by using other "sources." Wikipedia is like a quick referencing point, probably the best part of wiki is all those references down at the bottom. Also, go to a library once in awhile, it's rather interesting to read from books rather than the internet.
