Wikipedia

I read two articles about Wikipedia. One of the articles were pro the other was a con.

For the fist article was a pro. It focused more so on college students and professors at Lake Land. Many professors do not have a problem with Wikipedia because it is a start. However, they state that the students need to do further research. Many colleges still do not allow Wikipedia as a creditable source. Mattoon Lake Land.

The other article opposing Wikipedia continuously pulled out the biases of Wikipedia. It breaks down the different examples of the biases about the website. It even takes it back to the contributors and the way they handle the work on the site. It also towards the end give suggestions on how it should change its contributors and the way the network show now act.

I personally agree with the use of Wikipedia due to the fact that the term "wiki" alone mean quick so that mean that it is a start or a simple summary of the topic that one is interested on. It is the researches job to go deeper and use more than one source to get accurate information.
