Wikipedia

Although many jump on the “I hate Wikipedia” bandwagon, I am not so quick to join. While it may sometimes be unreliable; I feel it is just as accurate as many other sources. For instance, when you perform a google search who’s to say the person who wrote the information on the website you picked is a credible source? The only difference between Wikipedia and a random article you include in a final project that depends on your credible information is ignorance. Had we not all heard that Wikipedia can be changed by anyone, and people who have no idea can write information on there we would not doubt the information we see. It seems to me that had the old saying “ignorance is bliss” been implemented in this situation people would not be so anti-Wikipedia
