Wikipedia Blog


Today in Mr. Schick’s Human Geography class we learned why Mr. Schick loves using the internet source Wikipedia. He warned us that the teachers in the English department would probably not allow to use Wikipedia because it is known to be unreliable.  It is known to be unreliable because anyone can change the information given and post something that is false. But as Mr. Schick said, Wikipedia contains a lot of information and there are people who edit the posts if they are undependable. Also, there are many things that are blocked so you can’t post whatever you want to on those cites. For example, when you look up President Barrack Obama on Wikipedia, it is impossible to add any information. They are protecting him and reputation especially with the elections coming up. The bottom line is Wikipedia is not always a source that does not have true information. It can give helpful information.
