After learning that you can change Wikipedia i don't know if i will ever use that site again. I use to use this site for all of my research for papers or projects. Knowing what I know now I will never see Wikipedia as a reliable source anymore.
It states on NPR that anyone can go on the website and edit the information to say what they want it to say. That type of information can be strictly biased. It has also been stated that people sometimes go on the site and edit it just to mess the information up. That is not fair, people who is using this site may not know that it is incorrect information and will get some statements wrong.
This site is not all bad, some people are taking precautions to make the site better. There is a tracking device now where when a person edits the information their name will show up, and you can't make edits without giving a name.
I am glad that the right steps are being taken so people can enjoy the website and not have to worry about getting wrong information.
