Wikiality Investigation Group Work 2

Answered by Sonya

How would you know whether a particular article really is accurate?

You can check the ‘for more research’ link. This will give you a list of different books/websites that may go into more detail about that specific topic. Another link that can be used is ‘sources’. You can go to the websites where the information on Wikipedia came from. If the information is similar and makes sense you know that the sources are correct. Before completely believing all the information you should check other sources like Encarta or encyclopedias for more research.

How would you go about discovering whether an article contains inaccurate information?

Once you have found out that Wikipedia page contains false information you can change it. Once you change something you should put your source so that other people can see that you changed the information for a reason.
