Wikipedia

The very popular source of information, Wikipedia, is a online encyclopedia. They are one of the largest online encyclopedias largely due to the fact that, unlike other information sites that have more common sense, any one can edit Wikipedia. That's right, any one cane edit their site with out having to even register. Wikipedia claims that they are safe & reliable, but we all know better.

Here are their problems & how they claim to address them:
Vandalism - They say they block repeat vandal's IPs; Truth, an IP can be changed in the computer setting, & some Internet provider assign new IPs when ever some one logs on. Also, other providers have multiple people per IP, so innocent user's also get punished.

Misinformation - Many users say they have strict policies on who can edit & what articles can be submitted; Truth, Any one can edit Wikipedia just so happens to be one of their slogans. Also, many invalidated claims are made into articles, with false references. They go unchecked, need proof of that, make one up, post it, & see how long before they take it down.

Reliable - Users say it is a reliable source of information; Truth, they very fact that they have vandals is all the testimony against reliable. Articles change day by day, sometimes for the better, but just as much for the worst. Reliability goes by a user by user basis.

So, the next time you Wiki an article, don't believe everything you read.
