Wikipedia do I trust - Mariah sears

Wikipedia is not the best source for research papers. I am here to tell you why you shouldn't trust Wikipedia. Well if you researched the word wiki- it means that it's content can be edited. And if you research the whole word, Wikipedia- it tells you that many thousands of contributors join in and change, or add their own information. Even though they have to site their sources, not all sources are reliable. Also, if someone does not agree with another person, they are free to change the information to anything that they want. Plus Wikipedia's information is changed everyday. So let's say you are studying dogs and you had to stop for a day for any kind of reason, and the next day you go on, the information that you were researching could be changed, so you could be confused on what to trust. Also some researchers did an experiment on Wikipedia and Britannica by seeing how many mistakes there were on a series of articles. But the thing is the researchers did not tell the contributors which article belonged to which website. "That averages out to 2.92 mistakes per article for Britannica and 3.86 for Wikipedia." this is what the results are. As you can see, britannica has less mistakes than Wikipedia does per page. This proves that wikipedia has more mistakes and according to "Study:Wikipedia as accurate as Britannica", Wikipedia was reported to have several serious mistakes. Wikipedia is not a reliable source because the many thousands of users won't know at any giving time if the information is right or wrong.
