Wikipedia

While exploring Wikipedia, I was surprised to learn about its history and what it is. I must confess that I never used wiki but have heard people talk about it. While reading the article, I found out that anyone can edit info on this site. The idea of anybody being able to do this is frightening because of the simple fact that the information may be falsified. Using wiki for research papers or things of that sort would not be a wise choice. Wiki may have information that is true, but the only way that i would use it was if there was references to the info that was provided for me. In order to be on the safe side, I would suggest people not to use wiki for research purposes.
