Alright, for a while now I have been seeing a lot of FALSE information being posted throughout the boards, weather they are questions, or theories. Most of this false information is being provided through the popular website WikiPedia . I’m making this post to clear up any information being posted via Wikipedia.

I’d like people to read this post and take into consideration that things on wikipedia are false. This is not a slanderous post to advise you to stay away from WikiPedia, it’s just a mere warning to watch out and not believe everything you read off WikiPedia. WikiPedia can be resourceful in some aspects, but if you’re going for 100% accuracy it’s best to just stick with the facts provided by fan sites, such as: MKOnline, MKOutworld and so on and so forth.

WikiPedia describes itself:
“Wikipedia is an online free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales has described Wikipedia as "an effort to create and distribute a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language." Wikipedia exists to bring knowledge to everyone.”

In simple terms, WikiPedia can be edited by anyone and everyone. You can even make your own pages on video games if you felt the need to. It’s simple to create a false page about a false game, and convince users that the game even exists.

Here’s a small example,
You can access the WikiPedia MK:Armageddon Page Here. Take note, you will see small [edit] links throughout the page which look like so:


With a simple click, and a small imagination -- you can add anything to that page. I’ve added a small string of text saying: “Liu Kang will turn into a monkey at the end of the game”. This is false, and is a perfect example of how WikiPedia can betray you into thinking that, well, Liu Kang is going to turn into a monkey at the end of the game, which I repeat, is false.

Be warned, WikiPedia can be edited by anyone and everyone, and should not be used for a precise and accurate reference web-site. . Especially for a game that hasn’t even been released yet., also, please pay attention and notice that there is a vandalism report page, which can be accessed by clicking Here. And to clear up all thoughts - that this is not a "WikiPedia hate thread", I'm trying to emphasize that WikiPedia is not always 100% accurate, and should not be used to try to prove theory's and what not.

That’s all.

Update: This is a small update to my post that I felt was necessary if I’m going to be speaking of WikiPedia’s MK Pages. As Shadaloo and IamTheS have brought this to my attention. There is a group of MK fans that are determined to keep WikiPedia’s pages from slanderous and false information. This is called the: WikiProject Mortal Kombat, and you can find out more about it by clicking: Here , I hope that people are encouraged by these people who donate their hard work and dedication to the MK Community - to keep WikPedia’s Mortal Kombat pages clean, true, and informative!
