[jeanlass]

This is great- thanks for posting.

[Amtiskau]

Band is Massive Attack, song is "Future Proof"

[rhombus1000]

Awesome music who is that?

[rhombus1000]

@andersmusician: Maybe that is because the majority of people who are willing to contribute toward educating others tend to be liberal in the first place.

[andersmusician]

wikipedia is controled by a liberal majority, check out the controversial topics, mosto of them are not p.o.v. balanced

[ShinjukuHH]

Creation of knowledge... Masterpiece

Great Song (Massive Attack - Futureproof)

[binboyuk]

what does it say!?!

grrr i want to knw what was first wrote.

[travelinlibrarian]

Go to the Wikipedia page, access the history, and read what was there first.

[binboyuk]

oh thank you, dident know you could do that, i dont use wiki much :)

[jigglyfidda125]

can someone tell me how to edt a wikipedia page? i have an account

please tell me, its important

[rtivey01]

@binboyuk On July 7, 2005, explosions or other incidents were reported at various London Underground stations in central London, specifically Aldgate, Edgware Road, Kings Cross St Pancras, Old Street and Russell Suare tube station. They have been attributed to power surges.

The stations do not share the same line. The incidents led to the immediate evacuation of many stations and apparently now the entire London Underground network and much of the City of London.

[korgasm]

who created it? . ... who knows

[travelinlibrarian]

The name of the song and the artist has been listed previously in the comments.

[EUROBAS]

The 7 July 2005 London bombings (also called the 7/7 bombings) were a series of coordinated bomb blasts that hit London's public transport system during the morning rush hour. Carried out by British Islamist extremists, the suicide bombings were motivated by Britain's involvement in the Iraq War and other conflicts.

[Donkeybummer]

only way too ensure you have the information you actually want is too check other sources, not just wikipedia.

however, often ive actually seen peices of information being picked from different websites that they created too put onto wikipedia. hmm

[Flintingstone]

Wikipedia is an unreliable source of information.

[FHSTVAshes]

Please, do tell, what is your definition of a reliable piece of information?

[ShonTolliverMusic]

you're right. I'd rather trust some unknown publishing board of Webster's Dictionary and the editors of CNN. I mean, who woudn't trust an anonymous private interest

[thprfssnl1]

lotta nerds out there

[goldenchocolate]

no matter wat u say, wikipedia is by far the best common daily ressource out there...sure, ur teacher might not accept it as a source, but for anytime ur just looking for info, wikipedia is great...I LOVE WIKIPEDIA! (i edit some myself...i also really like Wikilyric)

[arclight777]

I agree...if given a choice between what can be obsolete, misdirected crap that the schools throw at us...I will Wiki it and cross reference...conclusion...allot of school rubbish. IT and History great examples (different topics) Besides I didnt spend 80 bucks on a book where we start at chapter 11

[goldenchocolate]

you can say that again! I remember once (in 7th grade) one of my teachers kept saying that the richter scale went all the way up to 10 (but it only goes to 9) -_-'

and another time, in 8th grade this time, one of my teachers said the french language was invented a few centuries ago!

[needlermasta]

It does got to 10 retard

[goldenchocolate]

no it goes up to 9

[stabdollface]

What song is this? Tell me please :)

[travelinlibrarian]

[soldier9599]

[tifauk]

He's right, if you look it up the evidence is there, but I'm not gonna scream it from the rooftops because I have a life...

[Louyiihn]

 RaCists x____x

[dewyeyed]

great song!

[ve240]

Im interested and im not being rude, but just what is this video meant to convey?

[travelinlibrarian]

It shows how the article developed in the first 24 hours. (Something that you just can't really see by looking at a text-based history of edits.) As someone who teaches Wikipedia, it's a great illustration to show my students.

[anonymees]

You 'teach' wikipedia? What does that mean?

[travelinlibrarian]

It's a three hour workshop for librarians to show them how to both edit Wikipedia properly and how to use it to answer reference questions. I also cover Wikiepdia's history, controversies, and the many different opinions on it's validity and usefulness. Lost of discussion too.

[cubanoafuego]

yeah, wikipedia is a good source of information of some things, but when certain interests come into play, it is sometimes biased/ innacurrate beyond belief. for example, just about everything about cuba is pretty biased, and you wont find much good information.

[yohaneuano4]

lol 1:48

[cucublu]

WTH

[gggrzesiek]

great video

[ImMakinMagic]

i searched the history on the page, this was not done by one person, i searched the history and counted it up, there were over 432 different people who changed the page in the first 16 hours.

[extrekkie13]

PEOPLE POWER! Oh yeah! :D

(I just love collaboration.)

[kysoek]

Dude, that was me! you can pm me about my money later thgank you...

[VanMeter232]

if i were a hater i'd've told you to shut the fuck up

[dewyeyed]

i think kysoek's comment was meant to be humorous, you should relax

[ruwiki]

+1: what song is that?

[travelinlibrarian]

Sorry, no clue as I didn't make the video.

[mrneglect]

The song is: Massive Attack - Future Proof

[SpunkMouth69]

what song is that?

[intricatic]

This demonstrates the insanity of wiki.

[SamiG288]

Amazing.

[MovGP0]

It seems that this is not even the first third of the history of this article.

[RevolutionaryJam]

thats wikid!!!

[turbo3g]

Because it's interesting to see how the world used the forum of wikipedia to work out their feelings and views and accounts of the situation. Not always for the better were their words, but we can say that it was definitely a human outpuring in that timelapse.

[firebert25]

so why would you spend time looking at an encyclepedia

[chapinmesa]

My guess would be...set a screencap to take every hour and set it to take the shot of the browser with Wikipedia open...not to hard actually...

[travelinlibrarian]

Unfortunately, I didn't achieve this. I found it online a few days after the event and have since lost where I got it from.

[Mikel4321]

how did you achieve this?

[nebraskaccess]

From the video's description: "I don't know who created this. If you did, please speak up, I want to give you the credit you deserve."
