For my project, I will be discussing both the positive and
negative effects of Wikipedia on society. Wikipedia is a globally known and
free online encyclopedia that relies on the collaboration of volunteers for
content pages as well as revisions. Through preliminary research, I have found
that Wikipedia has steadily become more trustworthy for research purposes over
the years since its founding in 2001. The company has taken active measures to
ban unreliable sources from being counted as citations on the site in an
attempt to thwart false information from being disseminated to individuals
around the world. A discussion on the societal effects of Wikipedia will use
both news articles and scholarly journal publications to support my
presentation on this subject.
Your topic really interests me! I know very minimal about Wikipedia and have heard that it is very unreliable, however, reading that you have found Wikipedia to become more trustworthy over time has interested me in finding out how.
