Wikipedia is a great online resource for information. One can become entranced with all it has to offer. I have caught myself a number of times reading random articles. I think that the ability to read a couple of random articles makes people more intelligent. If people continue to read all kinds of articles the will become more well-rounded people. Some benefits Wikipedia has to being an open encyclopedia is that people from all walks of life with all sorts of experiences can add their opinion or information on a specific topic. The amount of sources is endless. Each person in the world has something to add in society and Wikipedia gives them the chance to expose it to others. Unfortunately some people like to undermine the idea of an open encyclopedia. Anyone is permitted to add or change an article, so this leaves a margin of chance in every post. Wikipedia has grown tremendously from its start and they have hired people to monitor the sight for the “bad apples” among all of the editors that put a lot of time and effort into their work. Baker has thought of and idea called “deletopedia”, which is the idea of a website or page that has all of the deleted articles from Wikipedia. This would give the site a history to look back on. It will also show the progression of the site into a real source of information viewed by millions daily.
