Most of our profs don't allow Wiki as a quoted source either.

You mean some of them DO allow it? That's astonishing.

I doubt if any do, but I haven't read everyone's syllabus so I can't say
for certain.

Even when I was an undergrad, using an encyclopedia as a reference was
actually a point of criticism, leading to a severely reduced grade. Research
implies getting as close to the sources as possible, which at the very least,
means reading the publications of the researchers themselves.

*Somehow I think the terms should be different.
Maybe there should be searchers...and researchers.
Need to differentiate more between between breaking new ground
and going over old ground. Just MO which I offer for free and
uncorrupted by money.

ScottW-


everything you do at work is corrupted.
Unless you volunteer.
anything you read in any mag or newspaper is corrupted
every opinion you hear on tv or radio is corrupted

Read the dailyKos, they don't
get paid.
