Why do people do this?
Ask for a credible source to back some argument/assertion
Kayden Gutierrez
Austin Peterson
Because it's a good source
en.wikipedia.org
Gavin Hernandez
If you're a bitch boy about Wikiped, then just go to the sources Wikipedia lists in their articles.

Why should we spend twenty minutes searching scholarly databases for free pdfs that support our points when the people we're arguing against almost never have the rigor needed to read the articles we post? It's quicker and easier just to find online articles and Wikipedia.
William Mitchell
Better than your personal blog where you try to rewrite history you nasty revisionist.
Easton Russell
BBC is already doing that though. Revisionism is mainstream
Anthony Sanders
Because they don't care or don't have a proper source otherwise.
Chase Nelson
Would you kindly show me?
Evan Lewis
Why must you request evidence

favorite fake Wikipedia article? one of my favs is the "Baldock Beer disaster"
en.wikipedia.org
>"Although the beer disaster did have its plus side. Due to great number of beer barrels rolling along the steets and careering into old coaching inns, people collected these and opened there own public houses. One of the most famous Public Houses that used the resources from the disaster was The White Lion. However, many lives were taken and it would not do to be flippant about the matter."

>When discussing history, please reference credible source material, and provide as much supporting information as possible in your posts.

Wikipedia is credible, unless you're litterally an old man who hasn't caught up with the last decade.
Carson Hill
Because when someone asks me to give them a source 99% of the time I'm googling my own fucking post and giving them the first result. It's very annoying that some anons are so dumb that they will take the time to type out a response and wait for me to reply to them when they could find my source and write me a real response instead of trying to waste my time.
Nathaniel Rodriguez
Learn 2 debate faggot.
Elijah Watson

Dominic Gomez

Jordan Davis
Aaron Russell
Haha el perro caga

Wikipedia generally has a lot of information and is reliable most of the time, many academic papers are not public.
Elijah Young
Wikipedia is okay, but what not just use their sources directly?
