The Truth about Wikipedia Credit

[MrROTD]

wikipedia is good but some of the articles are outright lies, oh well I just ignore that.

[Thyrthlord]

Have they given the credit to you yet???

[7jackson7michigan7]

lol i got blocked from wikped because i listed a game by MILTON BRADLEY- a real game what the h---milty wont reply and wilped wont either lol----------- just check the vid---wow real bad game.

[blackngold29]

Agree with you 100%. Your video was great, as was the documentary. You definately deserve credit.

[dharamsala55]

I generally avoid Wikipedia like the plague, most especially so when it comes to extremely controversial subjects (conspiracy theories, evolution vs creationism, etc) for depending on what language you choose, what country it's coming from, etc, you're in for quite a shock when you realize how radically different are the articles written on the very same subject.

Want proof? Just try 'Tibet' in English, then...in Chinese. You will fall off your chair, that much I can garantee! LOL! :P

[korwinblue]

especially since the majority of us can't speak chinese >_>

[dharamsala55]

You can use translation tools. They are not perfect, but you sort of get the picture. :P

[MrROTD]

@dharamsala55 there are articles in english that are full of shit too, I would try to edit but Im sure it would get changed back.

[gabydewilde]

lol Prillo is to dumb to see how famous he is.

[Duckfisher0222]

i agree, i produce music, had the same trouble, ppl steal, there is no why...

i gues they where afraid you would ask them money.

[Stvlen]

Strangely enough, I actually became aware of you by reading the "Credit Chris!" comments on that documentary's YouTube page. Those comments made me wonder who the hell you were, so I searched your name. Ever since then (24 hours ago), I've been hooked on your videos!

[117tree]

omg sooo...?

[zombiewednesday13]

i usually dont trust or try to stay away from wiki, like you said to the extent of facts. however, for the sake of time i do use it for quick info on a subject. although the info is just as good there as it is here, which could be way off, credits should be given, so we know if it comes from a loyal source. then again, thats the motive of this knew age info ditribution website.

[7dr7dan7]

Messed up! They didn't even say who you are.

[souljaboyhate]

omg we get the point... stop talking you talk to much

[mass2chaos]

Woah... I just went over to the vpro video and there are like 100 something comments all saying "Credit Chris Pirillo"

[magnetmanca]

Man its funny how much he resembles a friend of mine.

[celt67]

So...let me get this straight...you're not getting credit ?

[SalocinTEN]

Yeah. Why was there no credit to the intellectual property of Lockergnome?

[jemuelfernandez]

vpro made a documentary about people exchanging infos and eliminated the chatroom which shows that exchange firsthand... losers...

[wuemura]

I think that's how people get mad about when some one piracy their work.

[HckySo]

I took the time to watch this video when it was first put on YouTube and thought it was interesting that you didn't have a credit in the video but I saw your name in the description and thought that was fine. Now that I think about it again I think they probably should have done something different.

Keep in mind there was another YouTube user in that video used without credit given.

[JesseWikipedia]

i hate the way you say wikipedia.

[JayZed]

where can i find the said video?

[bbucek]

youtube, type wikipedia

[arian90]

Now i'm not getting any credit.Beccause i sent that e-mail hahaha. my name in the chat is: AD90

[jrmo18]

I don't want to watch that video solely because of Chris not getting credit in the video itself. That is unprofessional and just plain rude.

[bbucek]

Watch the video, its worth watching. Relax and don't be so Chris obsessed. He's cool but that's not a good reason to not watch it. He told you to.

[jrmo18]

I'm not totally Chris obsessed, well OK maybe a little ^_^. I will watch it, thanks for calming me down. LoL.

[bbucek]

No problem :)

[Nanotech11]

I'm nobody, are you nobody too?

[BlogGadget]

Well they added "Opening is a video by Chris Pirillo." to the bottom of video

[sfbuchmiller]

Yep, it says that in the video description.

[JerseyFats]

On the publishing website.

De clip aan het begin van Wiki's Waarheid is van "techie" Chris Pirillo.

Translation (according to google translator)

The clip at the beginning of Wikis Truth is "techie" Chris Pirillo. Ga naar Pirillo's live webcam

[shamrock118]

I agree, it's only proper to give you credit.

[tidusquall10x]

you deserve credit

oh and on Wikipedia

I hate the people that say it is inaccurate

the only time that it is inaccurate is when sombody sabotages the article

and once they do that wikipedia usually finds it riht away and restores it

[paintball164]

same!

my teachers say that anyone can just go on and edit it! and then im like you cant! lol

i feel u bro

and i try to explain that wen u edit it, it shows up but then when its refreshed its gone! cause it goes through this thingy.....ya

[tidusquall10x]

haha this "thingy" lmao

yeah teachers are so gay about wikipedia.......it pisses me off

[supertrinko]

@tidusquall10x Agreed, and they usually supply sources so you can check the facts displayed.

[TheRedGoldfish]

@tidusquall10x - even then, there are some details that need touching up on some articles. I do get annoyed though as teachers just use that as an excuse now so that we have to work harder to find the answer.

[sfbuchmiller]

Cool. I use wikipedia for research sometimes.

[paintball164]

wikipedia= THE BEST ENCYCLOPEDIA

chris pirillo= THE BEST GEEK
