W HAT IS W IKIPEDIA ? An online encyclopedia that has millions of articles relating to just about any subject. Some popular topics are: academics current news events popular culture

I S W IKIPEDIA A G OOD T OOL OR NOT ? Wikipedia is a good tool to use for research; since the site can go very in- depth about various subjects. For example on the topic Air France Flight 447 you can see details about the initial search and rescue efforts, the nationalities of the ill-fated passengers, and a brief report on the aircraft’s conflicted airspeed readings, among other features.

I S W IKIPEDIA A G OOD T OOL OR NOT ? One of the main reasons for its popularity in recent years is that just about anyone can add and/or edit an article on this website. Even though this is why Wikipedia is so popular we think that this is a negative side to Wikipedia Many teachers will say not to use Wikipedia because some information can be invalid.

S UGGESTIONS TO I MPROVE W IKIPEDIA ? Have a section of the company working to check posts and to make sure they are from credible sources. To not let just anyone post to Wikipedia. Information should be filtered by staff and they can decide whether it should be posted to Wikipedia.
