I have come across some in the past that left me more confused than I was before I read them. Because I am new to some of the topic and issues we cover it is very important to me that I fully understand the information that is being relayed. At the beginning of my first class, we were told not to quote and wiki sources. I used to depend on Wikipedia heavily when it first came out; that is until I found out anyone can edit it. I will admit if I am not clear on an issue I still will use it to see if it helps me understand.

Although it provides users with a vast amount of information there is often no citation for the facts, which does not allow the reader to confirm the credibility of the record. The mere fact that anyone can manipulate the content submitted allows some readers to challenge the website information as biased or fabricated. Credentials are an important aspect of research; providing information only on topics in which they publish on their website.…
