Wiki Wiki

After reading the essay about Wikipedia and all the other sites that are connected to it, I realized how vast and unique it is. There's so much more to it than an online encyclopedia, and it keeps growing. Since we've been told for years that it's not a credible source and can't use the info found on it in any academic writing, some shy away from using it. I think it should be embraced, however. Yes in the past things have been changed on the information side and have been tweeked to include wrong facts. They've done very well on being more responsible and strict regarding those who post on their site now, however. The other sites that wikipedia is grouped with should be more well-known as well since they too include very useful and easily accessed information.
