Discussion Class Activity: Thinking about Wikipedia


 * 1) What do you think of Wikipedia's definition of "neutrality"?

= It comes to my mind that all articles in Wikipedia need to be neutral without any bias, including the sources that where used to write the article.

2. What are the impacts and limits of Wikipedia as a source of information?

= One if the impacts is that almost any topic can be found in Wikipedia, it informs the general public in quick seconds as it is easy to find an Wikipedia article. One of the limits is that almost anyone can create a Wikipedia account and can edit the articles that already exist.

3. On Wikipedia, all material must be attributable to reliable, published sources. What kinds of sources does this exclude? Can you think of any problems that might create?

= The sources that cannot be used in wikipedia are webpages, blog past and any type of source that can be bias or not written by an expert on the filed. If someone use one of this sources can create an article that is bias to a certain topic.

4. If Wikipedia were written 100 years ago, how might its content (and contributors) be different? What about 100 years from now?

= If Wikipedia existed 100 years ago there would not be a lot of information as technology was not very accessible for society. In the future there might be new type of information to write and inform the people about.
