Hi all, I was wondering if we wanted to try and get some kind of one-sentence slogan/summary/motto/mantra to explain exactly how authoritative Wikipedia is and isn't, and how it should and should not be used. Two thoughts that came to mind:
- Wikipedia is a tertiary source. (Not a primary source, not really even a secondary source - we discuss and collate primary sources).
- Wikipedia is the first word on everything and the last word on nothing. (We want to be the first place everyone comes to look up *anything*, but we don't claim to be the final word on *anything*, because we're always based on other sources which have more detail than we do).
Comments?
