Wikipedia most people think is bad and i did to at one point but now this is why i think its good. One reason is that there is volunteer workers who check out wiki sites to make sure they are not messed up by trouble makers. But this site can be also changed to make it better by people who might put pictures and graphs and the site will tell you always when it was last updated by someone so you can see how new the information is.Then wikipedia also has a lot of citations such as where if you look up birds on wiki you will see 200+ citations and that shows how much research and hard work was put into making the site. It also gives a lot of information is elaborate with good vocabulary words in it. Then also you can change what language you want to read it in so people in India,China,Brazil or korea could read it. So even though most teachers don't like this site to use for a research paper you can still use it to learn about whatever topic you want but then back it up with other sources.
