The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. One of the several sites in the whole Wikimedia project. The all-knowing site on the Internet. You've got questions, it's got answers. Basically, it's the Internet's equivalent of God.

A unique article-making web site where it has anything. You can make articles, anyone can make articles, talk about the articles you, your friend, or a total stranger, has posted. The disadvantage of anyone can edit/make articles is that anyone can post anything that isn't true. However, Wiki's, or how it's abbreviated, users can report an article to a moderator and they will restore the text ASAP or close to the text. Wikipedia is often not trusted on by schools because of that simple disadvantage.

An extremely biased and informational source where everyone is the author. People get loads of information from outside sources and cite them. Are those outside sources reliable? Some are, some are not. They do not have to be
I just read an article about Pearl Harbor on Wikipedia! It was packed with so much information??? HOW DO THEY GET THIS???

A source teachers will normally call unreliable cause it can be “changed” even though it is normally monitored 24/7
Teacher: Look for a source online I will not credit you for Wikipedia. Kid: Wikipedia is a reliable source it’s monitored on a daily basis.
