@Angel: This one, although most of the conversation we're talking about has been deleted by now by the uploader. Basically, an RPer was insisting that flower was genderless, even after I had posted the link to the tweet. I kind of wish Walter had kept that particular post, though, and had just deleted the second one, but so long as the situation had been cleared up on that end.

Now to conquer the issue with the rest of those on YT, Facebook, tumblr, and even dA that are still stuck with spreading the wrong info around. They may not believe what's written in the actual articles, but it's not wise to disregard the links cited as well... it's not like the wiki's goal is to mislead folks purposely, and it sucks that people still don't get that the majority of wikis in general are just a hub to gather info that's spread across the web into one place for easier access to the knowledge.

(Somewhat OT: This is the one thing I wish I could kick teachers that continue to instill in their students about Wikipedia being noted as "not a reliable source" as well. Of course it's not wise to just cite the whole site by itself, but don't just tell them avoid it altogether... scrolling down to the sources and either finding them on the web/databases or in the libraries could make a research task that much easier, and I thank that one professor I had that was willing to buck the trend and inform us the right way to use it in such cases. You learn a whole lot more when you're willing to go through and see the source material for yourself... but I digress.)
