Can I Use Wikipedia?
Can I Use Wikipedia?
While finding information on wikipedia is simple and readily available, is it a credible source for citing? Use wikipedia for pre-research or for mining resources. Using "good" web sources for your research requires a bit of searching and a lot of evaluating to ensure credibility of an source. This means knowing the author of a source and verifying that he/she is an expert in their field.
Be able to answer these questions:
Who is the author?
Who is the audience?
What is the author's purpose?
Is the information current?
Does the level and detail suit your purpose?
Does the website contain contact information?
Can the content be verified elsewhere?
