Wikipedia- Hayden

Is Wikipedia a reliable source? I say yes. If you look at the bottom of each paragraph there is a citation of where that info came from. So you can check that the information is true. If there is no citation then it doesn't get published. Plus there are so many people editing Wikipedia each minute that even if you got false information on Wikipedia, it would be changed within minutes. Nobody can edit the most viewed pages because they are perfect or very close to it and Wikipedia experts have locked editing to viewers. So that means nobody can edit the pages about Leonardo Da Vinci or Bill Gates or any other common page like that. In addition to this Britannica has 2.92 mistakes per article where Wikipedia has 3.86. Thats not even one more mistake per article. So why trust Britannia and not Wikipedia? And lastly to be publish on Wikipedia the information can't be biased. So each Wikipedia article has citations, few mistakes and it's not biased . This makes Wikipedia the biggest and best good source on the Internet.

  1. That's pretty cool that you put yourself in other people's shoes and saw it through their eyes.
