Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

As stated, nobody cites "libraries".
By the way, you're replying to somebody saying published papers don't cite google or Wikipedia, not that you shouldn't cite them. Well, you shouldn't cite google anyway the same way you don't cite the library.
Wikipedia isn't an aggregator, and it's not considered a reputable source. It's a good surface level, or entry point, but it that's the extend of you're research, you're doing a lot wrong. Like considering citing google wrong.
You chose the latter.
I understand what the user I replied to said. Now ask yourself why don't published papers cite Google or Wikipedia? I know you know the answer because we already agreed on it. Despite that reason, I don't believe that makes Google or Wikipedia "enemies of education". This is where my library analogy comes in. Just because you wouldn't cite "the library" doesn't mean libraries are the enemy of education.
Do you want to point out where I said something wrong or silly? I'm still not seeing it.
