WEEK 9

In reading the article on Wikipedia and how much it can be trusted, I have become more aware of the content of Wikipedia. According to this article, anyone who visits a page on Wikipedia has the option of changing, adding, or deleting whatever they choose. I have been advised by many of my college professors not to trust Wikipedia but never really knew why until now. I have always used information from their site if I wanted to know something. Wikipedia offers information online, quick and easy, whereas you would have to go to the library and find the information otherwise. After reading this review, I think I will still use Wikipedia as a quick reference, but not as a reliable source for important information.

I feel that Wikipedia should do more than track who is making changes to the information. Maybe they could make the information more protected so that people are not allowed to make changes to the content.
