tynamite's avatar I've looked up something on Wikipedia, it didn't exist, so I spent ages using Google to find it, then I put it on Wikipedia for future reference. I've only edited 2 pages in 2004, and will not edit Wikipedia again.

Or according to Encyclopedia Dramatica...

World of WikipediaⓀ, or Wikipedia, is a massive multiplayer role-playing game in which some really cool dudes compete to paraphrase detailed information into a shorter, reader-friendlier format. However, unlike any other MMORPG, the major rewards and upgrades are to players' perceived expertise on their own edits, which players can trade in for sparse IRL recognition or can add to their laundry lists of personal accomplishments.,,, The Wikipedia game originally began as a plot to streamline the plagiarism of college essays.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
