why or why not?
Answers: Depends...
When looking up some info about something trivia, approaching the movies some actor or actress have been within, that's fine.
But if you're doing a serious assignment, it would be much better to check your information with another network site or book just to breed sure. And you will get much better grades I assure you!
Wikipedia can be edited by everyone and is therefore not the best site to use unless you want your grades to be low.
Hope this helps!

Yeah it have always be useful and true for me!
yeah, i hear that it has wrong information but i think its pretty accurate from what i search.
Pretty much. I don't see a reason y not to.There info is accurate too except some mispelled words.
You can usually trust Wikipedia because it have administrators that check on things to form sure it is not junk. One appropriate suggestion is that if it is long and has reference it is probably correct, but if it is short and no references next it is probably junk.
Yeah except I don't know because its free.
You should use wikipedia to get hold of a brief understanding in the region of a topic but you shouldn't take specific facts from at hand because users on wikipedia users can edit these articles which ability they may not always be right.
I trust because I simply do.
Dylan h: Anyone can edit the articles, I've even did it. :P
no because it is user-edited so most of the information is probably copy
Sure, the articles are free and they are continually edited by Wikipedia and analyzed for mistakes. You can post information for them to review, but only surrounded by rare instances can articles be edited by anyone from the internet. Other editors are other around to correct obvious errors, and Wikipedia's software, agreed as MediaWiki, is carefully designed to allow jammy reversal of editorial mistakes. Wikipedia has editorial policies, tons of which are pretty obvious, no plagiarizing or infringing copyrights. They grant you basic English sentence structure rules. Wikipedia is decent, but I would not recommend it for a core research project or assignment for school. Curriki.org is a hot website similar to Wikipedia for educational research of K-12 students.
to a great extent
as some people devote themselves to spread scholarship with no or little interest
Yeah.. i do trust wiki.. bec of different reasons...
1) Its free
2) We do acquire required info correctly
3) If we try and search anything contained by google, the first few searches would noticeably list wikipedia
yea its wikipedia , how can u not trust it
Yes and no.
I trust it for things approaching movies, tv shows, books, etc.
I don't have complete principle in the physical person articles.
Seeing as I've come across copious with "and he's gay" implicit the end of it... and other things similar to articles filled near more opinions than facts.
**** no!
asny1 can imput ther own info which can be fictitious.
I always use encarta.
sure why not
Yes because its free...
and it have alot of info.
Yes. In a survey conducted a few months ago, Wikipedia was more accurate than that crappy Britannica Online that you hold to PAY FOR.
yeah, there is no grounds not to trust them. profecionals write those articals.
Of course, yes. It has never tolerate me down. Wll... it had, but that be because I wrote wrong keywords or sort of!
The question that really wishes to be asked is "Trust Wikipedia for what purpose"?
in nonspecific, the articles in Wikipedia are written by race who care roughly the subjects they write about. Especially on subjects that enjoy a great amount of interest, there is pretty a bit of peer review going on that ensures a dependable level of care. That being said, the horizontal of accuracy within a particular article will ebb and flow depending upon the expertise of the editors of that particular article. These editors are adjectives but anonymous.
If you are using Wikipedia as a general source for finding out initially what something is, or if you are looking for planning on where else to look for information, afterwards Wikipedia is a fine source of information.
If you are doing academic research (or a report for a conservatory paper), then Wikipedia is not a extremely good source, lately as any encyclopedia is not a particularly pious source for this purpose. A look at the sources used may be a useful resource for suggesting possible sources for your own project, though. So within that since, any given article might not be trusted.
Do I trust Wikipedia? Yes, I trust many of the individual articles for what they are. But it is not trustworthy as a sole source of information.
Sometimes, you should know what you are penetrating for because people can repress and put false information on there...
no, its not reliable.
Duh. Why not? Free,full up with info,communication,cool stuff,interesting facts.
ya wikipedia is trusted because it gives the information where on earth no one is have that knowledge
I trust Wikipedia. I do becuase of the cited sources at the bottom. Also, because they hold moderators. Now, I would not go citing wikipedia as a source, but going in that and taking their sources, that what I do.
Well becasue that is the place where on earth i found lost of information that i needed for my school stuff, and they adjectives sound ma sense to me.
yes. it's a reliable source of information.
s,it provides adjectives information...
There are different ways to use wikipedia. I trust most of the information, even if it says "this article does not cite sources" or "the information have not been checked" if it seem likely. Most of the time for research papers and stuff teacher will kill you if you use wikipedia, so I use it to obtain the facts, but then find other websites to cite and to double check the information. The piece is that wikipedia usually has everything you call for on one or two pages, whereas you might shift through 20 others without getting adjectives of what you need.
A bit, because content surrounded by wikipedia can be edited by almost anyone.
