A Conversation about Wikipedia

“A Conversation about Wikipedia”- Dave Warlick- 2¢’s Worth
This feed is very interesting to me. The title is A Conversation about Wikipedia. It is talking about, whether to use the source Wikipedia. David Warlick asks if he should use Wikipedia for history on a quote for a paper. He thinks that from everyone that has talked to him, thinks it is a bad source to use for information. However, David wanted to ask people what they thought of using Wikipedia. I think that using Wikipedia is good for a start on something, but would use better sources for more in-depth things. This matters to me because, possible I could use Wikipedia for my research too and I would not know if it is correct information. However, as I read on Wikipedias website, that every thing is read over by Wikipedia authors. This is a solution to make people use the website but I believe that it is still not a good place for all your research, but for maybe a start on something. I also believe that this can apply to class because if we are doing a project with research then I know whether to use Wikipedia. This article can also relate to the world. This could be that a college student could be working on writing something and use this information, it would be wrong, and he could not get what he was writing right. In addition, if someone is looking information on stocks, how to trade them and he looks on Wikipedia, and goes out and tries the way that it said and does even worse. So I say use Wikipedia for a start for something but do not use for full research.
