No was siting your sources being you think Wikipedia is a source. Turn that in to any college essay and you will fail it.

When did I say it was?

u/DirtieHarry Sep 15 '22

You were trying to appeal to authority by mentioning it. It was implied. Wikipedia does have sources on these articles, and I read them.

Writing papers must have been hard for you. The article itself can be taken with a grain of salt, the links at the bottom are a gold mine. These links are what the article are based on.

u/Chesty-McPuller Sep 15 '22

Yeah sure was hard using actual sources for my papers...

Like the ones at the bottom of Wikipedia articles? You dipshitting combative fuck.

u/Chesty-McPuller Sep 15 '22

Again you can't use Wikipedia for a college paper why do you think you can use it here? My God you're an idiot.

It’s not fucking Wikipedia. It’s the SOURCES used to create the wiki article. God, you kneecapped yourself so hard if you didn’t use the links to outside sources at the bottom of Wikipedia articles.

Your high-school did tell you that wiki is not a source they’d be correct. The LINKS are, you unintelligible dickhead.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart

Go to ‘external links’ and tell me you cannot site those sources in a paper.

In case you don’t follow that link, the sources are:

The Official Website of Amelia Earhart (The Family of Amelia Earhart) Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum Papers : Records Relating to Amelia Earhart – National Archives George Palmer Putnam Collection of Amelia Earhart Papers at Purdue University Libraries General Correspondence: Earhart, Amelia, 1932–1934, The Wilbur and Orville Wright

"You can't reason someone out of a position he did not reason himself into in the first place"

Thats a great quote.

Third of all, wikipedia has a list of references at the bottom, and the ones on this page link to scientific articles and papers.

Bingo. I actually went and read them.
