You are very welcome.
I’m very sorry to hear (again) about your situation and I’m hopeful that several Beeple here will help you out. Take care and, please, keep us informed over the following weeks.
Thank you for sharing and I hope you have a great week!
Yeah. There are a lot of typos.
Funny seeing this here. My brother just called me to tip me off to this exact article. I just finished reading it and had no idea any of this was happening. What a wild reality.
I hadn’t seen a post nor comment from you for a while and was starting to get worried. I’m happy that you are still with us.
Welcome to Beehaw!
Yes, please make a post in /c/chat and include the following:
Thank you and I hope your situation improves.
I’m sorry to hear that you are going through a tough time. Hang in there…it’s temporary…you are going to make it through this.
The general public truly are lazy consumer idiots, aren’t they?
Yes, of course they are!
Reddit is corporate-controlled and moderators/administrators can run amok so easily. I was banned from /r/news years ago with no explanation…I appealed several times with no responses.
I founded /r/AskBibleScholars and have no issues there.
I believe that you already know the answers to your own questions.
I’m sorry to hear that you are having a difficult time. I hear you and I know that all of this is just temporary. You will get through all of this.
You’re welcome friend.
Good luck to you and wishing you the best.
I agree. I grew up using hard copy encyclopedias at libraries. It is incredible now to have all of this at our fingertips at home.
Can you give an example of an article with an error that you tried to correct?
This was 6 years ago so I cannot recall precisely which pages. However, I just skimmed over about 15 pages that I thought would be riddled with errors. To my surprise, I only found one instance where there was a ‘citation needed’ mark and could find no major errors…maybe a few little splitting hairs examples but nothing serious.
So, it appears that improvements have been made over the past 6 years. On the other hand, I only looked over roughly 15 pages.
Probably the same caution would be true for any encyclopedia. Namely, these can be pretty good starting points but not for serious scholarly research.
My self and others in this field tried for about 6 months to no avail. We gave up…they didn’t want to hear it.
Except for a handful, all federal politicians are bought and paid for and only serve the oligarchs. If money isn’t stripped from politics (see Citizens United), then USA will continue to degrade.
