Is Wikipedia a real online encyclopedia? |
Hi, I'm doing research paper for my science class, and i have to cite my sources. So, when doing the citation for a Wiki page I used, do I make it in the form of a website or an online encyclopedia? can any1 let me know what kind of citation style I should use?? First check with your teacher to see if that is a reliable source. For somethings that are more opinion and not hard fact it might be ok. well wikipedia is not the best source!! because people put their own answers for questions. so some people could be putting right answers and some wrong yes, but anyone can editi it so, use a real BOOK encyclopedia if you want the be sure of accuarcy Wikipedia is run be volunteers they dont give u guarantee that is info is right . But they do do have a systems that monitors the entries of the articles . More reliable resources are answers.com, and the dictionaries ! |
