Wikipedia

The articles assigned about wikipedia were not surprising. Companies such as Walmart and Exxon, and organizations such as the Catholic Church and the CIA have changed information on Wikipedia in their favor. This was made possible to see by a graduate student named Virgil Griffith who created a database specifically designed to track down the editors of wikipedia. I believe that wikipedia can be a good starting point for research, but it should not be used as a factual source for information. It should probably be considered what kind of subject is being researched. For companies and other organizations, edits should be expected by that company on wikipedia.
