What he means to say is all geeks know that wikipedia is a very informative resource. You dont need to especially keep sending mails with wikipedia links as for certain individuals, like Anant, it is annoying.

If I surf and find useful pages, I post them. Members have a choice to delete my mails.

Yes Rony bhai, they have the choice to delete your mails and they equally have a choice ( and a right which they wish to exercise ) to complain :/

it may suprise you to know that other people in this list apart from you have heard of wikipedia. Also they are quite capable of looking up things in wikipedia. Further, wikipedia is not the place to go to learn about things as all the information there is secondary information. The only use it has is to help find the primary sources of information. So please stop insulting our intelligence by giving wikipedia links.
Sometime Today, Kenneth Gonsalves assembled some asciibets to say:
wikipedia. Further, wikipedia is not the place to go to learn about things as all the information there is secondary information. The only use it has is to
tertiary actually. The actual event would be primary information, a report about an event would be secondary, and wikipedia references reports about events making it tertiary.
Note that most people do not have access to primary information about anything (ie, most people are not eye witnesses to all events).

What is a primary source of information? The origin of that information itself?
Is this discussion forum a primary source of information? Do the words 'opt-in' ring a bell to anybody?
Do the posts floating around in this forum automagically open all links contained therein?
Let us please stop flaming everything and everyone around, and foster healthy discussions.

What amazes me is the way some people juggle between promoting FOSS and bashing freedom.

there is a difference between freedom and license - freedom is something that one uses with responsibility and includes respecting the freedom of others - which means sometimes curtailing what we do because it steps on the toes of others. License, on the other hand, means doing precisely what one wants without bothering about others, or their feelings.

The reference was to wikipedia. Wiki emerged as a free (as in freedom) alternative to institutionalized control of knowledge.

who is bashing wikipedia? wikipedia itself does not consider itself a primary source of knowledge. If you try to write anything in wikipedia without quoting the primary source, it will be marked as 'unreliable' and liable to be removed. It considers itself as a reference and should be used as such. Quoting wikipedia to prove a point or provide knowledge is plain silly and the guys who run wikipedia will be the first to pounce on you.
