Wikipedia Anyone?

The information that I read about wikipedia was very interesting. Mr. Virgil Griffith has made those that contribute to wikkipedia second guess any dishonest intentions. The program that Virgil wrote that traces the IP addresses of individuals and companies that change information on wikipedia. Those at wikipedia seem to not have any problem with changes that are made. They have taken the stance that it is up to the “people” concerning content on the site. With that being stated an individual should be cautious when obtain information. The information that one obtains should only be a start to information that one needs. When someone is researching online for a paper or a project it is in their best interest to leave a “paper trail”. This means that you should have verifiable sources for the sake of your grade or even job.
