Die eggs!

This week we are just now putting our project up and fix it a little more for when we show the kids. Also we are adding a milkshake blender.

Ben, Jordin, Hayden

We as a group have recently built a ramp for the golf hole. We just finished painting it. It looks great. This will complete our whole project except for the spectacle. That will all hopefully be done by next week.

Ben, Hayden and Jordin

We have most everything done with our machine. The only thing we have really struggled with is the army guy that moves along a string. We fixed that by replacing normal string with fishing line.

Noah,Isaac and John

We made tracks for our project and are lacking of a idea. We are hoping we can use the track we'll and not just did it for wasting our time.

Our project is starting to be successful and have a general idea of what were doing. We are hoping are project will be good. Check in with us next week to see how we're doing.

Wikipedia a trusted site

I think Wikipedia is a trusted source for everyday searches. The site was made by a bunch of experts and updates every day. Wikipedia is a website encyclopedia. The wiki in Wikipedia is for it to be know as a fast website for people want fast and understandable information.

Experts such as professors, doctors and scientist have been help creating and updating the website. Profetionals in all subjects have made pages for Wikipedia. There are even game details on the website. One time I searched "Minecraft" and they had a page on it.
People think that because you can edit it that it is a bad source but it needs to be approved by the owners, professors, doctors and scientist to stay on the site.

Wikipedia is a Internet encyclopedia that can change unlike regular encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a good study guide for projects such as witing a story on a president or infographics. When in the site there places for info around it. Plus Wikipedia has seen people who copyed parts of there work and typically it out of date. In the end these are some reasons why I believe Wikipedia is a trustworthy source.

Question: do you trust Wikipedia, do you think it's a good source for useful information?

Answer: Most people are confused about wether they think Wikipedia is a good source for information or not. My personals opinion is completely against the use of Wikipedia as a trustful website for information. The main reason why people are debating about it is because there are rumors and facts about the web site letting alone it being good or bad. For example some people think Wikipedia is a terrible site because anyone can go on the website and change the document, like make and article that was suppose to be about Abraham Lincoln and put information about a computer?? Although on the other hand people like to use Wikipedia for a source because it does tend to give useful information about certain subjects, great authors go on and write articles about things and they do give very good information , and if you are un- sure of something you could go google it, but that does create more work for the person learning!! But moving onto my personals thoughts about Wikipedia its just a bad site to use honestly, yes they may give very useful information but with all the doubts about the site your just going to be unsure about the information your leading, second guessing yourself basically. Also knowing anyone can go on and change anything about the article, Because of this I wouldn't not trust Wikipedia really you never know if someone went on and fooled around with the page. As far as just wanting to extend my learning with a certain subject so I have prior knowledge on what I am learning weather it being in a class or just my personal interests, Yes I would then quickly go on Wikipedia and just check out some of the facts on the web page. Because of All these reasons I don't like using Wikipedia for a full informational website.

Wikipedia SYA By- Emily Wootton


Wikipedia is not a good website to use as a resource on a paper because everything on that website is in danger of being changed by the whole world no amount of people can fix it. Wikipedia in 1991 began, " the website became a self styled pre- eminent source", by David Farhie). The website was built with 1000 volunteers to fix and edit the site. Wiki means (quick) in Hawaiian language and Pedia means for and encyclopedia . If you look at a Wikipedia site you need to look for,

-Does the writing read well
-Are there any citations.
-Was the article recently created or edited.
-Whether or not there's two or more editors.
-Author.

If none of this is encountered in the website it tends to give false information. Wikipedia is known to teachers as an unreliable source in which most of the time is edited by the people who have no idea what there talking about. Most of the time the edits last more than a month. There is 3.5 million articles on Wikipedia in 125 languages which means more than half of those articles must be wrong or edited a day. There's about 2.92 mess ups on each article or journal. Wikipedia had an issue before when peers would post nude pictures on Wikipedia.

There was an article about the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and John F. Kennedy by Steven Seigenthaler . It was deleted by another person. Adam Curry was the one who was accused of deleting that article. It was a very good article , but I find that if they deleted it and it was good article then what do they find bad.

The rate of the difference between Wikipedia and Britannia is 126 to 123 errors in the website. It is commonly known as the website in which it has a lot of errors on it.


As you can see Wikipedia is known as a unreliable source to use for any research paper. Everyone seems to have an opinion on the way the articles are edited on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a source that I would suggest to use.

Bad source wikie

Wikipedia is not a good sours for a research paper shout there is a lot of good info on Wikipedia, but do not relay on any of it. One reason why it is a bad sours for information is because any buddy can go on it and change the information yes there are thousands of of people who moater the web site connately and cheek
To make shire that the information is correct but they miss a lot of it. Another reason why Wikipedia is a bad source is if you post a video on wikiepeda any buddy can go on and watch your video and edit it in any way they want it could be a good edit or a very bad one. So in Conclushen this is why I think that wikiepeda is a bad source for infermation I say stick with the text books

Wikipedia good or bad Jacob

This is why I think Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information. A reason why that it is not is because there is a case of vandalism everyday but it gets fixed by a group that is called Wikipedia community group. What they do is they go to Wikipedia and check a specific word and correct any misleading information but if it corrects the information or updates it they leave it be. Some teachers agree that it is a good resource but it can have misleading information so sometimes it can not be a good source. Experts say that it is not a safe environment for young children. This is a quote from Chris Dempsey " I believe that Wikipedia is a helpful site in the classroom." This is a quote from a man named Earl Benser. " I do not think that Wikipedia is a reliable source because some information can be switched for something goofy and takes forever to correct the wrong information." These quotes tell your good ideas about the topics if they think it is good or a bad resource. This is why I think that Wikipedia is not a good resource for information.

Wikipedia Sara Beatty

Wikipedia is a reliable source when researching something. Thousands of volunteers edit the website to add good information and remove bogus info. Experts share their knowledge on various subjects and will let people add more information. However it would be wise to have some prior knowledge of the subject before you use Wikipedia so that you can tell what is real and what isn't. If you read something on Wikipedia and aren't sure if its true or not you should check in a day or two and see if its been edited. This is why Wikipedia is a reliable source.

Wikipedia- Mikayla

People debate whether or not Wikipedia is a trustworthy site to get information! My opinion is that Wikipedia is a good resource. At times I agree but like everyone else I debate whether or not its good or not to use. Wikipedia has some good information and bad information. The only thing I wouldn't use Wikipedia for is a big huge paper. A paragraph or 2. I would use it because if the information is good the wikipedia people keep the information there. There are also good links that Wikipedia had sometimes to either back up what they are saying, or something else. They also check out website every once in awhile and check to see if anyone has added fake information, if so then they will change it back to the original. Using Wikipedia wouldn't be a good idea to use because people vandalize and for little students who don't know what some of that stuff means, it wouldn't be good idea. Parents wouldn't be happy. It's also is bad because people can go into the website and change whatever they want. That's why it can be a bad idea to use Wikipedia but on the other end it can be a good idea. My point of view is that wikipedia is a good site to use. You can find links to other websites to make sure that your information is true.

Wikipedia as a resource: by Leanne L.

The famous website and resource known as Wikipedia was created in 2001. It has the ability of an encyclopedia. I do not recommend that people use this as their source for homework and essays and such. The "wiki" in Wikipedia means that the information can be changed. If you go to Wikipedia and click on an article, there is the option to edit the information that was put onto it. The purpose for this choice was so that people could correct someone else's information if it happens to be incorrect. Some people have taken advantage of this and instead write even more false information to trick people. Wikipedia now has volunteers searching and reading different articles to make sure that all of the information that people are writing is correct. Because Wikipedia is such a known and used resource for essays, homework, etc. Wikipedia is trying to prevent the false information, this does not always help. There are just so many articles on Wikipedia and they cannot read all of them. Wikipedia doesn't seem to be the best resource because the people trying to fix the information cannot catch everybody who's writing falsely. People change the information into false knowledge, not always on purpose but people are going to believe that that information if correct and use it in whatever they're using Wikipedia for. I do not recommend Wikipedia as a #1 resource.

Is Wikipedia a good source to write a report or and essay for school? Well to start what is Wikipedia? Wikipedia is like a giant encyclopedia that is viewed by many people and is changed and edited by many which can be a plus or a minus. Personally my opinion on Wikipedia is that you can write a report on the information that is given on their pages. One good thing that comes form this website is that it has the word "wiki" in it which means that it can be viewed and edited by people that want to put in the info they want. But on the other hand it can be bad cause their are many people out their that put bad info on because they wanna joke about it. Due to the many people that volunteer their time and go through all the information and verify if it is good and true and is real. They do this by reading books and watching videos etc. Also a good thing that comes from Wikipedia is that they have two big rules. The first is that info put on must be verified and be sited and be true to have it on their site or page. The next rule is that all info on their must not be biased and leaned to one side or more on something. The information must be presented fairly and equally so that people's opinions are not changed by reading something that is bias. So that means don't put sentences that would start with I think or I feel. But on the other hand their are a few bad things sprinkled into good things. First when people out their that post bad info it doesn't get changed right away it takes time to change it, a few days or so. When your writing your report, it might have bad info but you should be able to tell if its good or bad. Those are both bad things and good things that come from Wikipedia. Their are mostly good things that come from it. Thats why you should use Wikipedia for a resource and not be afraid to.

Wikipedia Noah

Is Wikipedia a trusted source? I would say yes that Wikipedia is a trusted source. Some people say no because anybody can change the information on the site or topic. But they don't realize that Wikipedia has thousands of volunteers that search through and find false information and change it back to what is suppose to be there. Also if you are reading a Wikipedia article and it has a whole bunch of weird stuff in it, most people would realize that it's probably isn't true, ignore it, and read on. Wikipedia is also a good source for news. When news goes viral Wikipedia soon has it on the Webb because there are millions of people editing or adding articles. When something is posted it is viewed with 2 roles. Verified ability which means it is true and able to stay on Wikipedia. The second one is that all information is fairly used and edited. The word wiki means hit edit and change as pleased. That doesn't mean it stays changed. The Britannica encyclopedia only had 39 more fact mistakes which proves Wikipedia is definitely a trusted source.

Is wikipedia good or bad Connor v

Is Wikipedia a good source for research papers ? Yes Wikipedia is a good source for students to go and find information to help them go and find better sites for information for a research paper. Wikipedia has 125 different languages this allows people from different countries to read the articles on wikipedia. Wikipedia is good because it has hundreds of people helping out fixing anything that is wrong or misleading this happens often within a couple of minutes. If you visit a wiki article that many people visit then there is a less likely chance that there would be any errors on that article then another article that less people visit. A majority of edits are made for the better good of wikipedia. If the reader finds a fact that isn't right or is misleading they can fix it. I can see the view for people that say that wikipedia is bad but it can help people find information for more stuff on the subject they are searching for. Yes Wikipedia is a good source for help find better sites and a starter for research papers.

Wikipedia By Devin

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.

Wikipedia - Hannah

Is Wikipedia a good source or bad? Like many people I agree that wikipedia is a bad source but my answer to the question at the beginning went both ways. I think Wikipedia is a good source for getting links to sites about whatever you are looking for. It is also good for other people; you can help by editing the page, giving good and useful information to others. Even though there are good things about Wikipedia there bad things as well, and those are the ones that turned me away from liking Wikipedia. The bad reasons are that people can edit the work, and it can be faulty information. Wikipedia in my mind isn't a good website, even though some of the information on there can be true, some of the other things might not be, you have no idea what information on there is useful information. Some people still, think that Wikipedia is a good site, they might think that because it is the 8th most visited site on the Internet. But this isn't a popularity contest and I can guarantee that when you look up, a well known person that you know something exact about them, someone would have changed an item on the biography about them, maybe to be funny or just they thought that was the truth. Even though in the beginning that I thought it was a good source my final decision was that it was a bad source, and I hope i persuade you into thinking the same.

Is Wikipedia a Good source?

Is Wikipedia a good source? Well, you tell me, anyone with a Wikipedia account can edit articles So, someone with a PHD or someone in kindergarten could change a page easily. Wikipedia is a good source for finding links for other webpages that the author used on the topic but writing your whole research paper from Wikipedia is not a good idea. Wikipedia may have editors to keep the website's information somewhat true, but there are so many articles on Wikipedia that no one could keep all of them perfect. If Wikipedia had more editors or more time, it might be a better resource for something more than just links. Wikipedia has so much potential for the future but for now I wouldn't trust it. That is why Wikipedia is not a good source for research.

Teachers, students, and just regular citizens all over the US argue about whether Wikipedia is a trustworthy source or not. I used to be on the side that argued how bad Wikipedia is. That its not a good source and that it just isn't worth your time all around. Although, after a lot of research, my point of view changed. I think that Wikipedia is doing a great job at keeping their website legit. They have tens of thousands of people who volunteer to watch over their articles and correct them when they've been vandalized every minute of everyday. For example, if you went into an article on Justin Bieber and put in that he has a pet unicorn named Bob or whatever, it would probably be changed in a matter of seconds. Wikipedia has improved their site over the last 10 or 11 years since they started and is the 8th most visited site on the Internet today. When you search something on google, I can almost guarantee that Wikipedia, WikiAnswers, or any wiki site is going to be in at least the top 5 things that come up. Some people argue about the editing on the site and that it isn't trustworthy because just about anyone can edit it. Well, there are things you can do to try and get around that problem. For one, you can check the history of edits to see what people have added and also see every version of the article that there is. This way, if a ridiculous edit was made then just look at the article before that edit was made. Also, you can check the discussion area to see what people are saying about the article, most of the time someone will have said something about how trusted this article is. But then again, just common sense can let you know because if someone is vandalizing the site then most of the time it is pretty easy to tell when they have. And if you still aren't sure, just check the information using another site, Wikipedia isn't the only one on the Internet with your information. This is why personally, I do trust Wikipedia and I think you should give it a chance, it's genius in the way that people all over the world can share their knowledge on one website in seconds. The idea was great, and I think they are doing the best they can to make it what it was made for.
