W9 : Do you think wikipedia is reliable? Why or why not?

 

Do you think wikipedia is reliable? Why or why not?


1.

To determine whether Wikipedia is reliable, you need to understand Wikipedia's system. Wikipedia encourages people to reveal their sources. If you don't reveal the source, a notification appears at the top of the article. Also, Wikipedia users can review each other. If it's not the right information, you can talk to the other person and correct the information. In the past, when I heard that Wikipedia was an encyclopedia made by users, not experts, I thought Wikipedia would not have reliable information. However, during the course, I understood Wikipedia and now I think Wikipedia is reliable.


2.

Sometimes knowledge of collective intelligence is better than knowledge of experts. Also, there is no 100% chance of what humans do. There are bound to be mistakes made by humans, and not only Wikipedia but also experts. I can't say Wikipedia is more reliable than a professional. However, Wikipedia cannot be said to be unreliable.


3.

What is the first factor we consider to determine whether it is credible? Source or jargon? Date the information was registered?

  1. Youngsil, I read your writing well. I agree that many people can work together to create articles as much as or more than professionals. I think the source is the first factor to consider Wikipedia's credibility. It's a way to justify editing, even though some people put sources in the wrong way. Emphasizing the source cannot be overstated!
