Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary
Saturday, January 15th
Ten years for Wikipedia. In honor of this occasion I have included a link below to an article covering all the hoaxes, growing problems and "open edit" problems that the site has experienced in it's rapid growth.
I actually use Wikipedia a lot (although I know better than to cite it or admit it in class), finding it's straightforward format, very inclusive nature and the links provided to most of the information presented, makes it very valuable in early research on most topics.
Although this article lists some limitations and problems with an open edit encyclopedia, I think the most telling fact in this article is that every one of these embarrassments, that o lot of organizations might try to obscure, have their own Wikipedia pages.
