There are several pros and cons to Wikipedia as an open collection of knowledge. One of the pros is that it is free. Not only is it free and accessible, but it's also usually one of the first hit on Google search. There are over 2.2 million articles available in 250 different languages. It is also updated frequently; it keeps up with current events. A major disadvantage to Wikipedia is that anyone can edit an article. Anyone can put up false information or wreck someone else's article at any given time. This disadvantage however, also accounts for why Wikipedia is fun. If someone edits a line from your article, you can change it back. If that person edits it again, you would go on Wikipedia and change it back to the original line. It's like a competitive game. Another disadvantage of Wikipedia is that many articles are at risk of being deleted. There are Internet bullies that take pleasure in destroying another person's article. It only takes a few seconds and a click to delete an article. Nicholson Baker proposed an idea called Deletopedia to rescue all the deleted articles. Some articles are unfairly deleted while others were just unnecessary articles. If the content in the articles is neither harmless nor illegal, then there would be no harm in reading the articles and no need to delete them either. Baker wants to rescue all the articles that fall under the "Articles for Deletion", "speedy" deletes, and "proposed" deletes debate pages.
