I murdered a rich guy in Red Dead Redemption 2 who slapped his expensive horse across the face after he lost to me in a race. His horse is now my main horse and she gets all the pats and sugar cubes in the world. I’m feeling good about my cowboy life choises.
Alrighty guys ,gals, and other genders and lack thereof I’m gonna teach ya a thing.
A lot of teachers will go on about not using wikipedia as a source.
“It’s bad,” they say. “I will deduct points if you do it.”
Well wikipedia is actually a great source of information and fuck what your teacher said, you absolutely can use it.
The key though is knowing
A.How to use it.
B. How to source it.
and
C. whether it is good info or trash.
NowFirst Lets look up something on wikipedia. Say your writing a paper on Gregor Mendel and Mendelian Inheritance.
So you zoom over to the Wikipedia page on Mendelian Inheritance.
Now there is a lot of information here. Not all of it is strictly necessary for that essay you are writing. So you read through and suddenly you see something that is good info for your essay.
Boy oh boy this information is useful. To bad your teacher said No Wikipedia Ever.
However there is a loophole.
It’s right there.
No. Go closer.
You see that little four? Its a citation number. Think of wikipedia as it’s own essay. It got it’s information from other sources out there. Just like you are trying to right now. And since there is a citation, it’s going to be listed at the end of the wikipedia article.
Look at citation number 4
Look at that you have your first citation. From Wikipedia.
And look. Do you see it. There is a link. It’s the blue words with the boxy arrow thingamajig.
That thing. Click it.
Why did you leave wikipedia you ask? Wikipedia is great. You have several sources from there. But There is more than what the put in to that wiki article. Those sources Wikipedia gave you are helpful. And now that you are at the source, you can utilize it.
But what if its a book that’s the source.
You can either head to your local library and see if they have it, order it, or avoid the book source. Online sources are just as valuable.
Also do not quote directly from the wikipedia. Quote from the source and then use quote citation.
And MLA citation. Use MLA citation. Since you are linked to the sources cite them. Not the wikipedia.
Your teacher will never know. And now you can finish that sweet essay you got planned.
This is why I think its funny when antis complain about sexualized kids shows. Like all these shows are written by adults and clearly have suggestive humor. Even spongebob has sex jokes. The you get shit like this and I am just closing the door.
Ah, and let’s not forget about the original version of its theme song (the artist was asked to re-record it with different lyrics just for the series):
Put your tongue in my ear It’s queer but kinda fun We’re the tomorrow generation There’s much to be done So, madam fashion, darling Step this way The modern girl’s delighted To be risqué
Here we go We’re gonna rock & roll ‘til we stop And then we’ll drop It’s a squeeze But if you just say please Then that’s fine It’ll be sublime The bass line cuts deeper than The sharpest stiletto So one, two, three, now baby Here we go (go, go)
Here we go, here we go I’m your sugar-coated doll and You’re my Romeo Here we go, here we go Geek or unique, hell Get on with the show Here we go, here we go I’m your sugar-coated doll You’re my hero Here we go, here we go, here we go
Sugar, give me your face And place it next to mine ‘Cause darling, grease is the word And boy, the word’s divine I don’t do sex But I do do second base So I suggest you wipe that frown From off your face
Here we go We’re gonna rock & roll 'til we stop (stop) And then we’ll drop It’s a squeeze But if you just say please Then that’s fine (fine) It’ll be sublime The bass line cuts deeper Than the sharpest stiletto So, one, two, three, now baby Here we go (go, go)
Here we go, here we go I’m your sugar-coated doll and You’re my Romeo Here we go, here we go Geek or unique, hell Get on with the show Here we go, here we go I’m your sugar-coated doll You’re my hero Here we go, here we go Here we g-g-g-g-g-go
