Class Day 3

Class day three was eventful as always.  To me, the most interesting thing we went over was Wikipedia.  I, like many other people, have always used Wikipedia to find information fast.  To me, the greatest advantage that Wikipedia has is that it is user friendly and the fact that anyone can edit it.  This means some one who knows alot about a particular subject can add it to Wikipedia while others can benefit from that knowledge.  I did not know of the oversight that Wikipedia personally employs.  They have a staff that looks for editing changes of certain aspects all the time.  During the video, the rock bands that use the umlaot was a topic that I do not think would attract too much attention, however, it was constantly updatd.  This obvously asks the question on whether all edits are factual and/or useful.  Obviously some of the edits had nothing to do with the content of the article, but still the changes were made.  However, with much of this happening, Wikipedia is still mostly reliable.  I did not know that Wikipedia checks on changes with a type of quality control to make sure that its content is kept to their standards of neutrality.
