Wikipedia is an immense source of information. However, it works as an open foundation where anyone from anywhere can contribute at any time. The information added can be genuine. But in most of the cases it is vandalism, off beam or an incomplete piece of information. These types of errors may be fixed by some genuine volunteers. Whereas, many of these errors can remain unobserved for a very long time. Maybe for years. This is the main reason that Wikipedia is an untrustworthy source of information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also the main reason that\nteachers bar their students from using Wikipedia as their primary source. Because\nwhen children use internet, they are unaware about the authenticity of the\ninformation. However, Wikipedia provides its primary and secondary sources to its\nusers the bottom of every article. Another reason could be that the information\nprovided on Wikipedia is distinctive. No matter the reader is a thirteen-year-old\nchild or a doctorate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I totally agree with the teachers\nwho prohibit their students from using Wikipedia as their primary source\nbecause it is not a scholarly resource. One way or another, it is a very wonderful\nsource of information in some cases. But due to its feature of being edited by\nanyone in the world. The accuracy of the information becomes questioned. Secondly,\nin this era, most of the children are addicted to their handheld devices.\nThough they have become very lazy. So, when they use Wikipedia, they don\u2019t try\nto understand because all of the work is already done for them. Whereas, when\nthey listen in classroom, they understand better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
