Wikipedia Views There are many opinions about Wikipedia. Simply one either likes the website or dislikes it. Many people have argued in favor of Wikipedia because it is a world wide website that provides information and people’s opinions on certain topics. Others refuse to believe that Wikipedia is a reliable source because anyone can edit information. I was one of those individuals but after a looking into the website and hearing other people’s opinions my opinion changed. Especially after reading the article, “Time to Change Public Opinion of Wikipedia Review” my beliefs changed greatly. In this article the provide readers with 6 reasons why Wikipedia is a credible source and should be given more credit and respect. One fact that shocked me was that Wikipedia is the world’s greatest encyclopedia, as it provides research in all languages. Another point Selina made that stuck out to me was the fact that the administrators caught someone who was misusing the website in a harmful way. The confronted him and warned him that if he was to continue abusing the website they would ban him. This clears things up in the long run. Many people think that anyone can log on and change an article on Wikipedia. But it is reliable and very much interesting to see other scholars and student’s opinions on topics. This makes Wikipedia a database that offers more than just information. And by taking this course and partaking in more research I am a critic whose opinions have changed and will be a frequent user of Wikipedia.
