James P. Purdy's, source, Wikipedia is Good for You? Pin points different ideals about using wikipedia. James looks at wikipedia as a reference or starting place, and as I view wikipedia it can assist me with finding other terms and ideas which as a result, help me develop my thinking. Once my mind is open for more thoughts, my writing will improve. So, wikipedia can be good for you if its utilized correctly. Knowing that wikipedia is not to be utilized as my main source is one important fact because all the information is not correct. So, I understand to read other soruces to verify information. Wikipedia information does not remain the same, so I may not be able to go back to the information and reference anything from it later. As a result, I understand to use wikipedia as a source and a process guide. This way, I am safe from the negative points in using wikipedia. Like unreliable and constant changing of what can be posted in wikipedia and later change. Mr. Purdy information on sharing your writing is a very good way to hear from my peers and at the same time, I don't put it off, I can have time to make corrections and or add to my writing once other students or staff gives feedback positive and constructive feedback will give me more motivation and determination in my writing. Also, as others do the same to assist me with my writing. it seems, wikipedia has it advantages and disadvantages just like the Encyclopedia and I should always take time to check my sources by viewing other source to verify and compare the facts I will find.
