8. “ The best thing about wikipedia is that they have some information that can help while searching for research info.” “ It has everything you need to know! And it gives examples but not too much so it's not like you are reading a book.” “ It allows you to have references to work from instead of actually using the site.” “ Real people wrote it so it's more people friendly.” “ Wikipedia, being written by the general public as it is, is often surprisingly comprehensive. It gives details to things that other reference sites omit, and the pages are regularly cleared out of incorrect or irrelevant information.” “ That you can find anything. You can even find Star Wars facts.” Wikipedia Use in Schools: What do you think is the best thing about Wikipedia?

9. “ It is updated by random people, who may know everything about a topic or nothing at all.” “ Anyone can update it, so the information can sometimes be unreliable.” “ Since it is user-edited, you have to verify it by looking for the information at another site. Also, sometimes there is so much on a page that it is difficult to find what you want, or it is poorly organized.” “ You can never tell what really is true if they don't cite the source and it can't always be used in a project.” “ It is by regular people, not necessarily a trustworthy source.” “ People will under value the information on wikipedia because they have heard their friend bad mouth the credibility. rarely I find a page that is fake or tampered with by trolls (the internet variety)” Wikipedia Use in Schools: What do you think is the worst thing about Wikipedia?
