choose4me:sorry.i had to barge in,pal but i think its very right. Google is just like a link to all links. It contains links to people's subjective opinions which might be very wrong. Like in the electrical engineering case,Google can just give u a link to an electrical engineer's blog which would definitely contain biased analysis. Google is broader than any other search engine but i believe Wikipedia is d most authoritative.I just hope u undastand me sha coz am not too good at explaining. Once again,sorry I barged in! |

sojikrown:My Dear, don't let anyone scare you or give you unnecessary high blood pressure. Unless things have changed, other than that, You do not need jamb Registration slip, what you need is the result....that proves you registered for the exam. I believe someone has listed the requirements above....except the Testimonial he wrote....I guess the rest are in order. Pls, relax....if you relax and take things easy, you can't err. By the way, I believe the school will list what is required. For the sake of clarity: 1) Jamb result 2) waec/neco/ijmb result 3) birth certificate 4) passport with red background 5) certificate of origin 6) post utme result 7) admission letter the above docs mentioned are for both before and after clearance....and dts wat i can remember for now. And hey....am female! Ciao. |

haywhy911:ln my department, if you are given an assignment, research or whatever academic work to do and you quote Wikipedia as your reference...your work will be rejected by most lecturers! So....its not the most authoritative.....and dts just one loophole in your statement. I don't know about your department...but if its d same in ur department and u are a fresher, when u resume, u will get to understand why he said "the bolded is very very wrong" |

SenoritaCristo:hi,am an aspirant. I wasn't aware of that but why is Wikipedia rejected? Is there a reasn 4 that? Cos i know Wikipedia provides (strong) reference 4 every answer they post. Wikipedia is the closest to 'facts'. Yeah. So can u pls explain why it is rejected by lecturers. Cheers! |

haywhy911: Oh Jeez!! I really wish I wouldn't have to explain! Anyways, Thanks for barging in! That's how to stop people that make wrong assertions like me right? Oya lemme gist you .. First, he likened Google to a waste bin.. A bin in this case is like a can or something that has the ability to and does contain trash. Now, to a very large extent, Google isn't a source of information in itself ( not totally) .. Google is a "search engine" that crawls and indexes sites via keywords and return a user's query based on matched keywords already indexed..But now, in a bid to widen it's coast and not just be a link to other websites, it now has its database of information. By this I mean Google Scholar( it pretty much does same thing as it's search engine but also has its own information). My point is, the fact that Google links you to relevant sites does not make it a "bin" because it also leads you to "authoritative" sites as well. Now it's left to the user to apply "Information Retrieval Techinques" to sieve the results and get exactly what's needed. Quote me anywhere, Wikipedia is wrongly seen by non-information professionals as an authoritative source, but "IT ISNT". Infact, no real Librarian or Information scientist should/will take such source serious.. Do you know why?? Wikipedia allows "just anybody" to add information to it without verification of their authority to do do.. Have you come across a wiki document that's states " citation needed" , " information not verified" etc on wikipedia? That's how unreliable it is. I'm not saying it's not useful though. I only gave the perception from Library Science.. *Make I pause here first, abi you still no gree ni?? 3 Likes 1 Share |

choose4me: true about Wikipedia, there was a time I could upload something on Wikipedia, I just didn't, as for Google, though it's not a bin, but as well it's not too reliable, type 'mrtopeqs' on Google and see what is brings out, does that make the information about MRTOPEQS reliable, it a profile I created myself, I could as well spice it up with lie, yet Google will still bring that out as a result. lastly, It's a she, not a HE. |

With my experience as a webmaster and the little intro of ethical hacking I use Bing .com wen searching 4 d best result. I think yahoo search is also widely used. But google doesnt have moderators but wikipedia has so wiki is beta if u nid analysis. |

choose4me:Well, you would do well by proving it, at least I'ld learn something new by so doing. Before then, Please note that when I say ''waste bin'', what I mean is that google is a search engine which uses a Search Query in finding key words inputted by users. Her algorithm is based on key-word Technology. Needless to say, whenever you search for something, there is no particular knowledge of machine intelligence deployed; the basic thing used is just the presentation of related searches across the 8billion Internet sources across the globe. Summarily, I referred to google as a waste bin because all it does is to direct you to the results of your search. Among these results could be Posts on blogs; sometimes written by young chaps without prior information. Take for instance, searching for "Unilorin admission List''. You'ld be directed to Unilorin's website, and a host of other Scammer website. How do they have anything to do with Unilorin? What I'm just saying is, someone in that field could post an article on his website sentimentally, if you search for something related, It directs you to the website. It's of course never google that posted it. Google only redirected you using the aforementioned technology. Provided the Informations are not encrypted, (such as mails,etc), google would always direct you to related searches when needed. So, yea, when I say waste bin, I mean, It's where you get different things...Both false and True. Anybody can post on his website, and google would simply help extract it if you need it. Thanks. |

mrtopeqs: Thanks for agreeing with the Wikipedia part but the example you sited isn't the best cuz you just drove home my point. You said I should type in "mrtopeqs", yea, it will return a result simply because a keyword that matches it is in the database. It has nothing to do with reliability of information. That is for the user to find out. Lastly, google does "not think". So it has no way of gauging reliability. It simply matches keywords and returns results in a certain order which I don't wanna go into based on the algorithm it's programmed to work on. Thanks for the gender notification too. #Smile |
