Wiki / Week 9

Wikipedia is a site known to many Internet goers. Most people also know that Wikipedia is not a reliable source for writing papers or factual information. It has a magnificent amount of information, but this site also allows people to tamper with that information. Although much written on Wikipedia may be true, not knowing the source of what's written or where it came from can be unwise.
It is possible to look up who has written on Wikipedia. But even with all of this, it is probably still advisable to check others sources for the information. I am not sure if Wikipedia will ever truly be a reliable source, but it is a way to have access to many facts or opinions throughout the internet.
