Research paper SYA

Research paper SYS
By:Brody Pigeon
Wikipedia can be a good source for certain things like recipes or or ideas about something. Some people would disagree and say that it can't be used for nothing but bad things. But to answer the arsenal question can wikipedia be a good source for research papers. I think it would be a good place to start but would not be the best place to get information because people can go in and wright random things about the person that is false information. For example you can go on Wikipedia and wright what ever you want on random subjects there for this would not be good for a research paper. It can also be used to hurt others for example there has been discussion that people have planed terrorist attacks threw Wikipedia and luckily enough it was traced and found to be a miss understanding but this shows this information is false and can be used for bad as well as good. Also when more than one person contributes for example "Have many people contributed to the article, or is the work of only one or two editors". This quote shows how many people can edit one page and how you don't know if five people edited it or fifty. This shows how Wikipedia will not be a good resource for a research paper.
