2004 marked my first visit to United Stated to pursue my college degree. During my first month, I was introduced to Wikipedia.
I was not aware of the fact that anyone can post/adjust information on Wikipedia, so I took all the information on this website for granted. Later on I was notified by my Professor in Georgetown University not to use Wikipedia as a source to cite from.
The reason was because Wikipedia (in my Professor's opinion), is NOT an entirely credible source. In fact, I took a course that was dedicated to "sources". From this course, I learned different techniques to define a credible source.
As for Wikipedia, I learned that there is a committee that is responsible of the credibility of the information posted website. Still, it is NOT OK. I know, it is checked but : by whom?
My intention is to seek credible information from the internet. Please please and please feel free to comment on my blog, I will appreciate your feedback .
Thank you
