I am always highly entertained when a Wikipedia page has been vandalised.

Here is some information on the temperament of the Tibetan Mastiff that I found particularly appealing:

They are excellent family dogs - for the right family - and you will find them to be unlikely to eat your babies. Owners must understand canine psychology and be willing and able to assume the primary leadership position. Lack of consistent, rational discipline can result in the creation of dangerous, unpredictable dogs. In this case, baby-eating may be a problem (although this is true of virtually every dog breed, it is more likely with a large, primitive breed.)

For the Lulz

People never seem to understand why I find wikipedia to be an unacceptable source.

It's actually not that bad for looking up random info or finding a starting point, studies have been done by professionals to cross-check wikipedia with other databases and wiki is spot on for the most part.

But in terms of argumentation and research papers, yea, I side with you.

Arguing on the internet is one of my hobbies - wikipedia references are guaranteed to make me whip out my stomping boots.

Goddamn baby eaters.

Meanwhile, I love Tibetan Mastiffs something fierce.

*laughs*

I love it the most when they do it in that fashion.. not outright destruction of the information.. It makes it far more hilarious when people then take it as gospel because it was on wikipedia. ;)

I love it when that happens!I have a hard drive with a collection of screen shots of this sort of thing. Including Jamie Lee Curtis being a hermaphrodite.

[darakat-ewr.livejournal.com]

Oh no! a Tibetan mastiff has eaten my baby! (wikipedia is never a good source of info, it is however sometimes a good place to start researching the likelihood of baby eating refrences...)

[thunderbiscuit.livejournal.com]

Aaaahahahahaha!! Good show!

[silverjackal.livejournal.com]

But what about those who are looking for baby-eating qualities in a companion animal? Where are we to turn to for information if not wikipedia? :D

Seriously, I love Tibetan mastiffs, but these days I want a dog I can easily carry by myself for quite some distance if necessary, so I prefer one that weighs less than 45 kg. Actually I really like Akitas, so if I were to get an "Oriental" breed that would likely be it.

Oh, wikipedia... it's where I learnt that Franz Kafka invented the cockroach. No wonder they're said to be able to survive nuclear winter... :D

Have you heard of the community called weirdwikiabuse? It's full of these kinds of posts, it's very entertaining. :D

[moonvoice.livejournal.com]

No I haven't! Oooo, I will go check that out. Thanking you very kindly for that one! :)
