Oh my...

I do apologize for my lack of communications as of late. I happened upon a website known as Wikipedia, and have been quite thouroughly involved in verifying the information located within, as well as offering corrections as needed.

((OOC: Sorry about the silence, everyone...))

...That doesn't sound like very much fun! You need to get out more!

Ah, but I was indeed enjoying myself... The vast amount of knowledge on a myriad of subjects is quite impressive, though some of it is rather misleading and needs further revisions before it is accurate and unbiased, though I do not quite understand how that correlates to my needing to "get out"...

Perhaps I shall have to adjust my schedule to include time spent outside of the base then...

Wikipedia? Does that have a lot of information on it?

Why do you have to correct it?

Indeed, it does contain a sizeable amount of information. The problem lies in that almost anyone can modify the information as they see fit, and as a result, Wikipedia, while a valuable resource overall, is a bit lacking in accuracy at times.

Oh...hey, that's kind of neat, though. Then you can get a lot of different views on one subject, right? Even if it's not right all the time.

Though that's nice of you to fix it! Was it bad?

Indeed, however, in certain subjects, it is more pertinent to have valid data regarding the subject matter, and personal bias should be set aside in favor of providing accurate information.

There were certain areas that had grossly inaccurate information, and other areas that had only slight inaccuracies, though offering corrections was merely a matter of locating an accurate source of information. Though it was a challenge, I thoroughly enjoyed ascertaining the accuracy of the information database.

Am really impressed with all those comments you've done for TF prompts and have much enjoyed reading them. Puts me to shame :P
