My thoughts on Wikipedia

Wikipedia is one of the best sources out there (opinion)!

Anyway, some people (teachers) believe that Wikipedia is an unacceptable source. I don't mean to question authority, but Wikipedia is quite reliable, as moderators consistently check for spamming, hacking, inaccuracy, etc. It was even compared to Encyclopedia Britannica, and Wikipedia was found to be more concise. So although I think that Wikipedia makes a good source, it's really easy to accidentally plagiarism. To avoid plagiarizing you should take info from the links that are cited on the bottom of the Wikipedia article. The best part is that Wikipedia is 100% free! (No subscriptions, fees, etc.)

Note: I have made it so that clicking on the emoticon (Dancing Banana) will take you directly to Ms. Froehlich's Blog.
