thang 8.. wiki wiki what?

I have mixed feelings about the wiki concept. I like it because it is relatively easy to find information on things that not alot of other resources would have, so thats good.. but i dont like the fact that people can edit information. Theres too many dumb people in today's world for someone NOT to mess with correct information, i don't like that aspect too well. I see why alot of educators ban wiki's as a reliable source of information, but not all wiki's are incorrect. as a matter of fact i have not ran into alot of problems with that, but i know its out there. if i were a teacher i would tell the student to compare with other articles if it doesn't seem accurate and it it is to be false, than PUNISH THEM!!! jk jk, i probably wouldnt do that.
