Wikipedia

Today in class we talked about Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a huge encyclopedic on the internet. It's a great source to use if you are trying to find information on any topic you are looking for, but it has its pros and cons. Some pros are that it gives you a lot of information on whatever topic you are trying to find. It also gives you resources to help you find more information or to look up certain information that you are so sure if it correct or not. It also gives you subtopics so if you want look up a smaller part of the topic that you are looking for you have those topics right there on the side. Also there are highlighted words in the paragraph that you are reading. If you click on those words, they give you more information on that word or what that word has to do with the topic. The cons are that anybody can go to Wikipedia and change the information on the topic. Most things on Wikipedia are correct but some are not. You always want to make sure that it is correct or you may get something wrong on a paper or whatever you are trying to find information for. Wikipedia is a great source to find information on but I would always check to see if the information on there is correct by checking another website or different resource.
