Isn't there a Wiki on this website? If there isn't how can I start one --[[User:209.12.51.207|209.12.51.207]] 19:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)? |

==Removing http://computer.howstuffworks.com/wiki.htm link== |
|||
I removed this [http://computer.howstuffworks.com/wiki.htm link] from the "External Links" section as per [[Wikipedia:Avoid_self_references]]. That article is no more notable than any of the others on the site, and there is no reason for us to link to that one solely. I hope thats OK with everyone.

== Slogan == |
|||
The slogan for HowStuffWorks is either "Learn How Everything Works" or "It's good to know". Does anyone know which one, so we can add it to the article? [[Special:Contributions/99.254.204.28|99.254.204.28]] ([[User talk:99.254.204.28|talk]]) 20:44, 18 April 2008 (UTC) |
|||
==Accuracy== |
|||
I'd be wary of quoting HowStuffWorks as a [[Wikipedia:reliable source|reliable source]]. Have a look at [[Talk:Quasiturbine#HowStuffWorks]] for what seems to be a glaring piece of misinformation. |
|||
Of course Wikipedia is not perfect either! But we've had a number of people test our accuracy and comment on it. I wonder, has anyone tried to assess the reliability of the info at HowStuffWorks? [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] ([[User talk:Andrewa|talk]]) 17:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC) |
