I am a believer of Michel Potay's Revelation of Arès, and, accordingly, of theistic evolution.
February 6, 2007: I just read, for the first time, the Iraqi insurgency page, and i am astonished by the lousiness of that article. And i'm not even a news junkie, far from it. I found copyright violation + a load of bullshit (unsubtantiated "information") which makes me think that the page is not monitored very well, and that to my great surprise.

...which follows by this rant:

Warning to the reader

O reader, you should beware of what you read in here. How to sort it out ? Well, if an article has a good number of footnotes, themselves pointing to a bibliography, and the associated discussion page is interesting/impressive to read, then you can trust most of what you are finding (go have a look at WP:SOURCES). Otherwise, do your own homework. But don't be too disappointed, because what's in here helps you with that.

So, when you stumble across a web site which copies the Wikipedia entries regardless of quality, such as http://www.statemaster.com/encyclopedia/, you should turn around and run the other way. Either those people are stupid, or they count on you to be stupid, to take advantage of you. I suspect it is both: they count on you to be stupid, to take advantage of you, and that is stupid.
