Wikipedia

Wikipedia is not a resource that I would let my students use. This site allows its users to edit the information on the site. The Wikipedia Scanner is used to keep tabs on who goes onto Wikipedia and changes or adds information. This is good, but this doesn't make the website anymore trustworthy or reliable. The scanner just shows that a particular page has been edited, but it still doesn't make the information posted accurate. If it was more reliable, this site would be great, because the information is always frequently updated. I would ask tell my students to use other websites that are more reliable. There are professors that will not accept Wikipedia as an Internet resource.
