I personally I’m a very loyal user to Wikipedia because I think it is a good source for anybody to get a good understand on any topic they are trying to research on. But I also understand that Wikipedia could be a bad resource. Wikipedia is also considered to be an encyclopedia, which you have to write in a specific way. The Pro’s for Wikipedia are that anybody could use it and get a feel about the topic but also see plenty of articles. Wikipedia according to Baker has 2.2m articles, which could also be considered to be a search engine. Wikipedia has become very popular that it could be ranked close to MySpace, facebook, and YouTube. Another Pro for Wikipedia is that you search anything and for the most part it is recently updated to that time. I also love that Wikipedia is an open source because I believe that if anything is on the Internet its ultimately public and I don’t like websites that charge you to give information when you can probably just use Wikipedia, which will give you about the same information. The Cons about Wikipedia is that anybody could post their thought on Wiki and have others read their ideas without them being true. At time Wikipedia could be an unreliable source because you don’t know if the article you’re reading is from loyal references. Another Con is that anybody could go in your article and edit it as long as there are a user on Wikipedia which they could either correct your article for the better or the worst.
