Wikipedia
The January 15, 2001 began the free encyclopedia project Wikipedia. Today, 11 years, has more than 16 million items (through 2009) and is currently the largest and most popular online reference work.
Since its inception, and Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, has enjoyed great popularity. He is currently among the 10 most popular websites in the world, has editions in 271 languages \u200b\u200band many of their issues have given rise to derivative available through other web sites. However, there is controversy over its reliability and accuracy
democratic Encyclopedia
In words kvar, one of his many volunteer writers, one of the most valued qualities (and questioned) of Wikipedia: "anyone can edit, anyone can change what other people have written, anyone can be a manager", which has led many speak of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia democratic or open.
And several have taken advantage of that access to the site to make up the items or make a deliberate misinformation, which in the argot of Wikipedia called "hooligans." Artists
low profile celebrity aspirations, professionals wanting to inflate his career and greedy politicians charisma have manipulated their own items to get better off.
In the words of its founder, Jimmy Wales, "Wikipedia should not take any position on any controversial issue. Our work is that the site is not a place for political commentary or persuasion.
The English Wikipedia is vague and does not deserve any confidence
According to a study sponsored by the Free College Foundation Emeritus University concluded that the web encyclopedia Wikipedia provides useful often, but it is reliable "only Sometimes, it engages in "not a few mistakes" and is characterized by a lack "widespread" from reliable sources.
"Your information must be verified before being used," responsible for the report recommends "Wikipedia: a comparative study," Professor of Political Science at the University of Manchester Manuel Arias Maldonado.
The author discusses the German, the "most serious" Anglo-Saxon, the "most diverse" and English "least reliable" in this encyclopedia, but states that none of them deserves absolute trust.

The wiki phenomenon
The wiki phenomenon has been installed in the information society with such force and such an extent that some of the collaborative sites have quickly become global standard. Its main proponents were "Jimbo" Wales and Larry Sanger, who in January 2001, launched the community encyclopedia Wikipedia with the aim of providing free access Free to human knowledge.
This virtual encyclopedia now has editions in 265 languages \u200b\u200band more than twelve million articles. Its paper equivalent would take possibly thousands of shelves.
Anyway, it is important to understand that Wikipedia is only the leading exponent of the phenomenon of wikis and collaborative writing. A wiki is a website whose contents are edited by multiple volunteers through the browser. In this way, readers can post, modify or delete information quickly and easily, without needing to have great expertise or request permission to a publisher. And, in practice, all readers are the editors of the material.
The advantages of wiki sites are evident. Items will never become obsolete, because readers can update themselves in a few steps. However, this type of system has its drawbacks. The facility to edit the information may generate errors, either unintentional or acts of cyber-vandalism (for example, to damage the image of a public figure). Moreover, the vast number of articles is a positive development, but also produces an overabundance of information and represents a major challenge to control the validity of knowledge.
Wikis are thus a perfect system, but also somewhat questionable by its very essence. In fact, the prestigious journal Nature, a paradigm of scientific knowledge, has argued that the English version of Wikipedia is about as accurate as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
been less than fifteen years since Ward Cunningham invented the wiki concept and defined it as the online database "simplest that can work." It is clear that this paradigm of knowledge has much to correct, but can not deny that it has achieved a true online knowledge revolution. A world to discover.
