How Wiki Works

Wikipedia is a free, collaboratively edited online encyclopedia supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. It allows volunteers to communally edit and contribute information, though it faces challenges around inaccuracies from anonymous editing and vandalism. However, Wikipedia employs processes like requiring sources and allowing debates around article deletions to help ensure accuracy and exclude personal opinions. While its open model could be difficult to apply directly to businesses, the concept of collaborative knowledge-sharing shows potential value for certain corporate uses.

Is Wikipedia a reliable source ??

The idea is that anyone can come to Wikipedia and edit any page at any time and do so with complete anonymity is extremely disconcerting. Obvious ???? arise immediately: What if the person is a vandal and inserts profanity? What if the person is a vandal and either completely erases the page or corrupts it? From the outside, Wikipedia may look like chaos barely contained. thousands of people thinks, there must be no rules!

Can we Trust on Wikipedia ??

YES , Off course !!! But , Why ??? Wikipedia also employs a series of employees, who strive to ensure the information is accurate, is verifiable, is built on solid sources, and excludes personal opinion. Anyone can submit an article, anyone can also start an "Article for Deletion" (AfD) But there is a very ornate and welldefined structure of participation. Inclusionists versus the Exclusionists idea came up.
