The Great British Novel

[RiverNotch]

“In 2005, the peer-reviewed journal Nature asked scientists to compare Wikipedia's scientific articles to those in Encyclopaedia Britannica—"the most scholarly of encyclopedias," according to its own Wiki page. The comparison resulted in a tie; both references contained four serious errors among the 42 articles analyzed by experts.”

but that’s neither here nor there, i much prefer relying on poets on internet forums for all my scholarly information, anyway.

lol, Nature

(xD)

well, i can’t argue with that well researched and beautifully crafted rebuttable. you’ve certainly won this thread.

lol

But also the article you cited mostly concerns itself with science stuff, which is in a way easier to be definitive about than cultural obscurities such as this (with the study you specifically pointed out being more than a decade old, and with a particularly small sample size); and why are you contesting my point without giving any actual justifications? So what if Wikipedia says that the Philippines has 13 national epics -- it's only as dependable as the stuff it cites from, and the Wikipedia article doesn't cite anything regarding those so-called national epics, not least published articles on what Philippine national epics even are, and some of the articles on those so-called national epics don't even link to the articles on the national epics themselves; whereas I, though perhaps not coming from as reliable a source as what I or you seem to decide, have at least the recourse of experience, of actually being here and going through local schooling and having been forced to read through at the very least de la Cruz, Balagtas, and Rizal, as well as references to resources that at the very least actually exist (for example, http://www.officialgazette.gov.ph/1956/0...t-no-1425/). And finally, at least in this discussion, I've never admitted to being anything more than I am -- I don't think my sentences would be as overlong as they are if I weren't just fooling around.
