Powerpoint Presentations

Just found your great site! It is baly needed especially now that the 2012 movie is about to be released.

I am preparing a Powerpoint presentation for presentation in Spanish to a group of Hispanics from several
Latin American countries. It occurred to me that it would be a help if contributors to the site could send
in copyright free visuals to be used in audio visual presentations and publications.

By the way, citing Wikipedia as a source does not add much to the scholarship of the site. In the halls
of academe, citing Wikipedia could quickly get you into trouble with your prof.

Keep up the good work.

Hi J.D.

As far as wikipedia, yes, we realize that we need to upgrade our citations. We're working on that.

As far as copyright free images, the only ones I have control over are on the 'downloads' page, which you are free to use.

Hi J.D.,
Good for you. I am glad to see others fighting this terrible hoax. I know most teachers and professors don't allow Wikipedia as a reference, but I find it the easiest place to find information, which then gives me something to search for and confirm or refute on more highly respected sites. I like Wikipedia for that reason, but I don't take it as fact until I have confirmed it because people can post information there without necessarily providing proof. They usually show [citation needed] on things that don't have one.
