world and wikipedia part 1

Wikipedia is a site on the computer in which you can read up on various subjects, people, events etc, in world history.  Wikipedia is world wide and can be read in hundreds of languages.  Millions of people use this tool everyday to do research and what not, but is it reliable? Alot of information on Wikipedia is true and correct, but alot of it is not.  The reason being for this is that anyone can go on the site and write anything they want on any subject.  This is not an accreditted source of information. This is why professors tell their students to avoid retreiving any infromation on the site and putting it in their papers.  This is why I do not use Wikipedia for any of my sources for my papers.  Thousands of people can edit anyone elses work on the site which is the reason for the quote, " The best feature of the site is that anyone can edit virtually anything,contained on it, the worst feature of the site is that anyone can edit virtually anything contained on it."   Although, many kids use this site for work and so on becuase they do nnot care about the validity of their work and alot of times they do not have to site it.  It is also used for people who like to post and write about certain subjects that interest them.  Although, do to the inaccuracy of many of the postings on Wikipedia, many companies such as Google have tried and succeeded to become partners with the site.  The reason for this is that the site gets many hits and is very popular.  This would help their profits and the notoriety.
