Reflection Task 2a

Today, I want to inform you about Wikipedia. Yes, Wikipedia is that we always use in our daily life. I'll touch on its history, advantageous and disadvantageous. I chose this subject because nearly each of us use this website. Thus, I think if you use this, maybe you want to know its past. Let's start.

Wikipedia

As mentioned its website, Wikipedia is a multilingual, web-based, free-content encyclopedia project supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and based on an openly editable model. . The name "Wikipedia" is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning "quick") and encyclopedia. Wikipedia's articles provide links designed to guide the user to related pages with additional information.
Wikipedia is written collaboratively by largely anonymous Internet volunteers who write without pay. Anyone with Internet access can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles, except in limited cases where editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism. Users can contribute anonymously, under a pseudonym, or, if they choose to, with their real identity. 

Indeed, Wikipedia provides us a large information source and we can reach it in seconds. Nevertheless, we may reach wrong or deficient information and we may use this as the right information.The information sources are so important in academic writings, so academicians have to take into consideration. Finally, however useful Wikipedia is, it is misleading, too. Thus, it's up to you how you use it.
