From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've had enough of this. Everyone's hopes for this site have now been dashed, whether they know it or not. As an example I offer Reinforcement, an article which has been repeatedly vandalized – unintentionally – by well-meaning people who didn't understand the concept they were trying to elucidate. Now I see that sex has been removed from the list of primary reinforcers because you can live without sex, a consideration which has nothing to do with its status as a primary reinforcer.

A high proportion of the articles on this site are incorrect, incoherent, or intended as marketing. Sure, Wikipedia is trying to fix this problem, but it's like trying to stop an epidemic of plague with a box of bandaids and a tongue depressor. A defective tongue depressor, at that – the chief weapon seems to be the requirement of sources, which is easily and routinely subverted. I would not be surprised if within a couple of years this site was chiefly a vehicle for promoters, cultists, and propagandists. I could be entirely wrong, but for now I can't see any reasons for betting against me.
