WIKI WIKI WIKIPEDIA

Knowing that the public has the ability to change any information on the Wikipedia site, makes Wikipedia lose all of its credibility. Its humorous and entertaining to me, however, I would never reference this site for any topic of research or interest. It's absurd that any random person could create a false "Biography" on a false person and post it on the web.

The only times I reference Wikipedia are if I need a quick definition. Wikipedia is usually the first option that pops up on a Google search, so often times I click on Wikipedia and take a quick glance.

If I saw false information on a page on Wikipedia, I would probably change it. Then again, why would that matter? If it is not a credible site, how would me changing the information make it anymore credible? No one has to believe that I'm a credible source - the public doesn't know me from Adam. Its a vicious cycle! Its the Internet!
