This video informed me that you do not have to be an expert to contribute to an article on wikipedia.
I had learned that wikipedia is actually somewhat reliable, unlike how many people make it seem
I learned how Wikipedia is a really good source to use and people around the world contribute
In this video I learned that wikipedia is not what teachers say it is. But the problem is it can be edited by anyone, unlike the smaller wiki pages that are edited by a group of people. Wikipedia is more likea starting point for information rather than a resource used for information
I learned that the Wikipedia experts make sure the information on the article is accurate if not they have the power to delete it
I learned that not everything on wikipedia is true
Based on the video that we just watched in class, Wikipedia seems to be a decently reliable source for information. The average number of errors per entry in other encyclopedias is about 3, while Wikipedia averages about 4. While this does prove the site to be somewhat trustworthy, I still would not use it as a source for a research paper simply because there opinion based information is inevitable on a website run by the people. I would, however, use Wikipedia as a stepping stone to find other sources that are seen as being more factual.
Wikipedia pages are made by people from across the world and its owned by Wikipedia's administration who choose people around the world to create the Wikipedia pages
Wikipedia has many authors therefore some of the information can be biased, however the different authors come together and try to make the topic neutral.
This video taught me how to use Wikipedia. I learned that anyone can contribute and it is more reliable then it is said out to be.
Wikipedia could be edited by anyone so some of the information might be false. Its also a helpful resource to look for quick information.
I have learned that Wikipedia is edited by people from all around the world to share information from what they know.
i learned that Wikipedia can be a source for correct information for project
I learned that Wikipedia authors are supposed to keep a neutral, unbiased view, even on controversial topics.
I learned that Wikipedia isn't a bad source. It could be a starting up idea idea.
The video showed that Wikipedia may be biased but authors try to reach a neutral point that is agreed on by everyone.
I have learned from this video that anyone from anywhere, can add information to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is biased with comments that may contain options from users.
I learned that people who post on Wikipedia are volunteers, and do not get paid.
I like how Wikipedia allows other users to communicate with other users without having to see the person face to face
I learned that newly created wiki posts are still incomplete and that Wikipedia tells its users this and then aims to update and evolve the topic.
I learned that the Wikipedia is based on already published information.
The way that Wiki allows people to have discussion option where others can talk about the specific article. It can help talk about how biased the article can be, as it places different opinions on the Wiki article. This is a great way to see other peoples point of view on different topics.
I learned that Wikipedia be very useful to people all over the world.
I have learned that the people who contribute to Wikipedia do not have to be experts. This can lead to false information, bias opinion, or inactive. However, it is still good because people from other places can edit and revise information and actual administers can see if it is good or not. If not it will warn the readers who visits the page.
I like that Wikipedia gives readers the references they used, and other pages to go to. I also like the discussion page because I never knew about it and it sounds interesting, and I feel that getting someone's biased opinions can help you with whatever research you need to do.
I've learned that the people in that post in Wikipedia are people who write from all around the world and not the an actual office they could be experts or some could just be people trying to express themselves. Also they don't get paid foe what they write on there, and Wikipedia is somewhat a reliable source for people and students who are seeking for information.
I still don't see Wikipedia as a very reliable source because I don't feel comfortable with the fact that everybody can post whatever they want. However, I didn't know that there are authors who have a higher ranking that get rid of pages if they aren't important or flag certain pages.
I learned that Wikipedia cannot always be trusted but it can be most of the time.
