Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Wikipedia's top five sources ... The Blaze


TECHNOLOGY

EVER WONDER WHERE WIKIPEDIA’S INFO COMES FROM? HERE ARE ITS TOP 5 SOURCES

Due to the fact that that Wikipedia is “collaboratively edited,” leaving open the potential for error and misrepresentation of facts, many academics have long advised pupils to avoid using the site as a source. Still, the online encyclopedia of sorts does have many truthful posts and contributors and encouraged to fact check and source information posted on the site.
But where does Wikipedia, which has more than 22 million articles, get all of its information? WebEmpires.org “crawled the entire database of English Wikipedia to compile a list of Wikipedia’s top sources.” What it found was more than 22 million websites, which it then proceeded to rank by number of times it was used as a source in articles.
The top five sources of information are as follows (see the full list here):
  1. Google Books
  2. Web.Archive.org
  3. BBC News
  4. YouTube
  5. New York Times

As Web Empires points out, some of you may be wondering about the #2 spot — Web Archive. This site archives content from websites that have been taken offline, for various reasons. Web Empire writes that it expects Web Archive to take the top slot as the most used Wikipedia source in the “near future.”
