Wikipedia is a site where anybody can edit, broadly speaking, any page. With this power in anybody's hands, many things can happen to perfectly good information / empty pages.
True facts can be extended, or deleted in general. Some people enjoy malicious editing, and will purposely alter information to cause chaos, or achieve another malicious effect.
Even without any malicious intent, false information can be posted about a topic without the user knowing that the information is incorrect. Layouts and formats have been provided, so then users are highly encouraged to cite sources - however, many do not follow this layout.
In a nutshell, anybody can edit it - and although some people like to build up on something so grand and make the world more knowledgeable, there are people who like to strike chaos and give false information.
There are also those with admin rights who like to throw their weight around and repeatedly delete my efforts at adding a page for no reason whatsoever...in a democracy there is a discussion before those appointed with custodianship take action, in wikipedia land, it's just a collection of dictators...
Another problem with wikipedia is what I call "wikipedian information" which is place to espouse certain views without regard to historical or scientific fact (just look at the article on leucism which is replete with falsehoods and misinformation). I have tried numerous times to add valid information from peer reviewed sources only to have them deleted by someone that originally posted the article, because the research I quoted did not support their view.
Essentially many articles are guarded by quite territorial people and any new information or corrections added by others may be deleted by them when they get alerts that their article has been edited. This repeatedly happens over and over again. My own students have used wikipedia to write reports and wound up failing the assignment because the information was blatantly wrong.
- No, you should not be rude in return, because two wrongs can't make a right. It is never polite to be rude.
- I think if someone is rude you should be rude to unless you think their just having a bad day.=}
- You don't always have to rude, you should respect your elders. They have gone through a lot in their life and she is probably not happy that she still alive. Maybe her late husband passed away and she takes her anger on everyone else. You should just try to understand, ignore her or tell her politely that she doesn't have to be so mean to you.
- As people age, nerve connections in their brains deteriorate and that has the effect of removing tact and discretion. A very old person might say something that she would not have dreamed of saying a few years before. You can't in fairness penalise someone for something beyond their physical abilities. Nobody gets upset about a baby being incontinent because people know that babies do not have the physical ability to be clean and continent.
- If you believe that the person who was rude has not yet started with age related deterioration of nerve connections, replying with exquisite politeness may remind her of her own manners.
- You could say "I'm sorry - have I done something to offend you?" In this way you will show that you have class and that you are open to their feelings.
- You might better ask yourself why you would want to be rude to anyone? What would you get out of it? It would not make you a better person
- I don't think it matters.
- She is old as you say; she may be unwell and unhappy. Try to forget about it. Allow your compassionate and spiritual nature to develop. Carry goodness in your heart not hardness. Apart from anything else, it is an easier way to live with yourself.
In my personal opinion, I think that teenagers aren't too picky and will eat whatever is available. But I think what goes well are "party"/snacking foods. If you don't know what the teenagers will like, try having several small items for them to choose or stick with the "classic" foods that everyone likes. In case there are vegetarians, be sure to have an option for them:
Chips, cookies, and crackers
Pizza: Cheese, pepperoni, sausage seem to be the three favorites.
Mac and Cheese
Burgers and Fries
Nachos:Leave out ingredients and have them build their own creations
Ice Cream Sundaes: Leave out ingredients and have them build their own creations
Sandwiches: Leave out ingredients and have them build their own
Spaghetti and Meatballs:Serve meatballs on the side in case of vegetarians
Breakfast items: French toast, pancakes, eggs, fruit, etc.
Tacos/Burritos
Chicken Wings

How do you have positive thinking?
Well to develop a positive mind only take 10 - 20 day of continuous postive dominant thoughts in your mind. You just have to think positive for 10 - 20 days. You can do this by reading the article below about positive thinking
Answer:
There is no secret route to positive thinking. Trying to buy a positive attitude is like trying to be spontaneous on a schedule. Like anything else all it requires is that you focus your attention on what you are saying and doing and resolve to avoid the negative aspects of pointless complaining, moaning "poor me" whenever things go wrong.
- Start slow. Make an effort to say at least one kind thing to somebody (preferably a stranger) each day until you get the hang of it.
- Try to think of one positive aspect of anything that normally puts your blood pressure up (standing in line lets you relax since you can't run off to you next task, not standing in line is a pain because I want to get to my next task.)
- Ask yourself "Why does this bother me?" when you start to seeth
- Associate with positive people, it's catching.
- Shame yourself. Strangely enough if you visit a burn unit or cancer hostel you'll find people who should be weeping but are radiating a positive look on life. WHy them and not you?
- Avoid negative reenforcement - e.g. avoid reality TV which feeds on misery and sells it like a commodity
A simple exercise is to think over your day at the end of the day and identify the things that went right, the things that went wrong but provided valuable insights to your way of interfacing with the world, and the times you avoided making bad things worse by thinking first and acting second.
A lot of the Dalai Lama's books on Compassion are good sources for material to think over.

What are the different types of Psychopaths?
There are four different types of psychopaths.
The first type is distempered psychopaths, who are the most prone to sudden outbursts of rage, with frenzy and rage resembling an epileptic fit. They have immensely strong sex drives, obsessing with sexual urges during their lives. They have also huge cravings, such as kleptomania or sadistic pedophilia, doing this almost solely for the "rush." Then, there are primary psychopaths, who should be called emotional masochists. They won't respond to stress, punishment, or disapproval. Another strong trait is that they don't understand the meaning of words well, a condition called semantic aphasia. They have no life plan and are just breathing machines with no emotion, good or bad. Next, there are charismatic psychopaths -- in one word, liars. They are irresistible, charming, believe their own lies, extremely persuasive, talented, and also have the ability to manipulate well. In fact, many leaders of doomsday cults (cults that drive their followers to their deaths, such as the Heaven's Gate cult) were these types of psychopaths. Finally, there are secondary psychopaths, who may feel slight emotions of worry or guilt. These are avid risk-takers, exposing themselves to more stress and danger than the average person, who play by their own rules.
People will often confuse sociopaths and antisocial disorders with Psychopathy.
How do push and pull factors cause migration?
Push factors are circumstances that compel people to leave their current residence, such as political instability, economic hardship, or natural disasters, while pull factors are the attractions that draw individuals to a new location, such as job opportunities, better living conditions, or a higher quality of life. Together, these factors influence an individual's decision to migrate by creating the need or desire to seek a new home.

The Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) sets rules for bill
collectors working for a collection agency (not a collector working
for the creditor, many states have laws for all collectors). One of the
rules is that they can not call you at work, harassing you, use
inappropriate language, lying, adding unauthorized charges and many
other practices. Under the FDCPA, you have the right to demand that
the collection agency stop contacting you, except to tell you that
collection efforts have ended or that the creditor or collection
agency will sue you. You must put it in writing. Some thing happened to
me. Certified letter telling them to stop worked like a charm.

What did people eat in the 16th century?
In the 16th century the main food of rich people was meat. However the rich rarely ate vegetables. Rich people were not necessarily well fed because they ate too few vegetables. Poor people ate plenty of vegetables because they had no choice! Vegetables were cheap but meat was a luxury.
On certain days by law people had to eat fish instead of meat. At first this was for religious reasons but later in the 16th century it was to support the fishing industry. If you lived near the sea or a river you could eat fresh fish like herrings or mackerel. Otherwise you might have to rely on dried or salted fish.
Poor people usually ate dreary food. In the morning they had bread and cheese and onions. They only had one cooked meal a day. They mixed grain with water and added vegetables and (if they could afford it) strips of meat.

The potential of eliminating jobs in the marketplace. People fear unemployment. People also fear change in general. They get used to something a certain way. Some things are just mind boggling if the person hasn't been keeping themselves up to date as technology has progressed. I think the other thing is that there are so many "new and big" words that have evolved with computers in general, that if you don't understand all of the terminology - how can you learn a system that you cant even apply the English language too?
