Can all users be trusted to create resource information? For years many have always doubted the credibility of the web. For starters, how can you count on a source of information to be true on the internet? How can someone who is making a claim on a given topic prove their own credentials? Those two question have crosed m mind while navidating the web. The problem amplifies itself on the Wikipedia pages.
Wikipedia is one of the Internets most popular fact checking sites. But it is often manipulated by companies and individuals who are the subject of its entries. Virgil Griffithva graduate student of the California Institute of Technology, developed the Wikipedia Scanner. People such as the CIA, Vatican, Fox News, Undercover Agents, and Wal- Mart alters Wikipedia. All user cannot be trusted to create resource information. The problem came about when Wikipedia world became very public. anonymous users can sign on and create a new entry about any topic on wikipedia. In my opinion, I dont believe that Wikipedia can be trusted, I think that smoe day Mr. Griffith will come up with a plan to keep anonymous users from making cgahges to other peoples articles.
