Today in class we talked about
writing research papers and we spent a lot of time talking about
how websites like Wikipedia or Ask.com can be somewhat
unreliable because any person could get on that page and put in false information
or sabotage the information and links and if it is not a very important page,
then no one might know about it. also we talked about how some pages are locked
to the public like Mitt Romney's page and Barrack Obama's information
pages are locked because someone could say something to influence the
election in one sides favor. another thing we talked about was how there are
key words in Wikipedia that are highlighted and these words could
have a link attached to them that takes you to another page which describes the
word. Wikipedia is a great resource
to find information on but I would always check to see if the information on
the page is correct by checking another website or different source.
