Those in the Philippines should be especially careful of Wikipedia … the concept they have of anything outside the US is poor … there are a _lot_ of inacuracies about the Philippines on Wikipedia and no one at the management level who cares … just viuew our pages, we don’t really care what’s on them….

Whne I go to look up an author I'm interested in or some other personality about whom I already know somehting, I find Wikipedia rife with errors and what sometimes appear to be out and out untruths. Thousands and thousands of folks visit everyday andf leave, thinking they have gained knowledge ... as far as Migs wanting a profile on Wikipedia, jst do it .. truth or 'enhanced" it's just like writing a blog post ... no need to be accurate, it's Wikipedia Well, might be hilarious to some, but more importantly it’s just the tip of the iceberg that shows how broken Wikipedia really is.
