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.
