7 Things You Should Know About Wikipedia
It is hard to believe that Wikipedia has been with us for 12
years. I have to admit that I do go to
the site to look up basic information regarding a subject or a question I have.
I mean, when you type in a search for a topic one
of the top sites that pops up is Wikipedia. This is why I believe it is the eight most
visited site as stated in the article. It does house a lot of information and creates
a community of people from around the world who can add their knowledge and
insights on a topic good or bad. Along with
this freedom people must be aware that not everything is 100% true but I do
feel that it can give you a good guide to help direct your research and search
for more information on the internet.

7 Things You Should Know About Wikipedia
Thursday, June 7, 2007
You do bring up a good point about searching things on the web. A lot of time, one of the first sources listed is Wikipedia. I also believe that it can be a beneficial source if used correctly. I do not think it should be used a whole lot as a valid source in schools but I do feel students can use it as a guide and refer to it when searching the web.
