Wikipedia Part 1

Over the last five years the schools have had this big thing that wikipedia is not a reliable source. Every research paper that I had to write in high school the teachers would constantly stress the fact that wikipedia was not reliable because anyone can go to the website and edit the information. With that said I do not think that Wikipedia is very reliable. Honestly I have never actually tried to go to Wikipedia and edit their information I have just always relied on other people telling me that you can do this.

  1. "anyone can . . . edit the information"

    To me, that is a pretty powerful statement. If you express it with pessimistic sarcasm, it's bad. But, if you excitedly proclaim that "anyone CAN EDIT the information!" it means something entirely different.

    For me, I'm excited about that fact.
