"Heil meet again, don't know where, don't know when"I do like that Sriracha sauce. I think I might have to read this thread again.
Isn't it something to do with Nazis?
How the **** did I become a Nazi?
I'm not a Nazi
The "anyone can edit it" stick that is used to beat it is such an overrated bit of nonsense. Moderation on there is a bit stricter than here.
Would you base a thesis on Wikipedia?
No?
Thought not.
Not saying it isn't valid in its intended context.
Just don't expect to graduate quoting it as a basis for an argument.
Who said you would do that? I certainly didn't. I just said that the notion it's unreliable because 'anyone can edit it' is patently false.
I think if you read the gestation of the thread-within-the-thread that this diversion has taken, in its now over-elongated form....
....i dont think were disagreeing, you're just arrriving late.
Theres nowt wrong with wiki as long as you use it as a starting point and fact check it with something more verifiable before coming to a view based on what you read on....
Wikipedia.
G'day. Or goodnight as the case is for me.
I'm ****ered.
Sure, but you quoted me which was where my confusion came from when I was responding to a very specific comment.
Well then I may have to appeal to your better nature on the fact I quoted you, purely on the basis that I'm currently ****faced.
Part of my point was that despite what so many say, in practice it's actually no more in need of secondary verification than any other source, and in most cases it will tell you right on the page where the info has come from, which is true for very few other places you could look for information. It's really an incredible resource.
I wouldn't, or rather didn't, cite it as a reference in an academic setting because I know full well it's considered taboo in that environment. But I don't think it should be - in the real world it's one of the best places to go for information on almost any subject.

Mmmmmm....Are you sure??
We're talking in terms of academics. If you were using it to check how many clubs Trevor Benjamin has played for (a hilarious amount), you're fine.
Azerbaijani businessman Nasib Piriyev has stated us as a possible club to buy if his proposed purchase of West Ham falls through (which it probably will).
Businessman Nasib Piriyev has identified Hull City as a potential target if his proposed takeover of West Ham United fails.
Piriyev is fronting a London-based consortium – PAI Capital - attempting to buy the Premier League outfit, but has so far been unsuccessful in trying to tempt David Gold and David Sullivan into doing a deal for the London club.
City have been up for sale since 2014 under owners the Allam family and are currently in discussions with Turkish media mogul Acun Ilicali, but Piriyev, in a move which could be viewed as an attempt to put pressure the Hammers hierarchy, has suggested buying City or their stricken Championship rivals Derby County could be possible.
The Azerbaijan-born businessman, who Sullivan described as “an unsuitable custodian of the club” before adding he has “have no desire to deal with him,” retains hope that a deal can be done with the Claret and Blue outfit he says he’s supported since being a young child, though the second and final offer on the table will not be improved.
Believe it or not West Ham is close to my heart, it’s still going to be number one in the priority list and it’s a beautiful and amazing opportunity, there is so much to be done,” Piriyev told The Athletic’s Football Podcast .
“If we look at any other club I must say it will be more pragmatic, more business (minded) approach. And it would be a smaller club, you know there is a few that are struggling.
“There is interesting opportunities around Derby, around Hull, you know there is interesting ones which you can buy and then bring up. There is so much going on.
“We feel there will be some shifts in the industry and there will be new pockets of profits potentially available for these clubs, even the whole media cashflow will probably change. More new channels of distribution will come in…
“There is many risks that we need to assess before making these decisions (whether to try and buy the likes of the Rams or Tigers).”

Here we go now they will hike the price up again.
That's definitely not me folks. What gives it away is that monstrosity of a guitar.
Everybody knows I'm a Telecaster boy
No they won't. The asking price is set. The Turkish one will go through, this guy would have to pay a lot more to hijack it, he'd be better off going for Derby (though we're obviously the more attractive proposition).

There is absolutely nothing at all that could prevent them from increasing the price, saying the price is set is crap if another buyer comes in and offers more that benefits the Allams then without a doubt they will increase and state it's for the benefit of the club we only want to leave it in safe hands.
And to answer that we are more attractive proposition than Derby explain how, because to me the fact that quite a few more have shown interest in Derby than us seems to point in the direction that potential suitors would rather have Derby than us.
