Study: Wikipedia as accurate as Britannica - CNET News - 0 views

Roland O'Daniel on 29 Sep 09I've been an advocate for Wikipedia for a long time, yet more information saying it is a valid source (as with all sources we need to teach students to find corroborating sources before using the source). Not without error, but does go to show that even more trusted sites have errors, so don't hold Wikipedia to a different standard! Finally, what makes Wikipedia a better source is a shear volume of information on the site as compared to other 'encyclopedias'.
