How reliable is Wikipedia?
by Ray Sahelian, M.D. I really enjoy reading the endless pages on Wikipedia and find a great deal of useful information on this site. However, since some of the info is not always correct, I have mixed feelings about wikipedia. If people can put wrong information, or spin information to their advantage, how reliable could this site be? If you are okay with being able to filter through some misinformation, then Wikipedia is a good source for you. If you prefer to have a higher degree of accuracy from and encyclopedia, then you may consider Brittanica or other sources. Overall, though, I love some of the information on Wikipedia and I am really glad this knowledge is posted on the internet. Ray Sahelian, M.D. has a page on Wikipedia In March of 2007, I was notified that someone had started a page regarding me on Wikipedia. I must admit this made me quite happy. However, I few days later, a competitor posted slanderous material on the page, but I was glad that it was removed a week later.
