Encylopedia vs Wikipedia
Enclopedias and Wikipedia, are two resource that everyone uses when they want to search about infromation of something. They both have pros and cons. two pros of encylopedia is it gives you a basic understanding of the issues or what you are looking for and it also a reliable source.One cons of encylopedia is not easy to access. One advantage of Wikipedia is is easy to acces and one disadvantage is not a realiable source.I found the Lost Boys on encylopedia when search Sudaneseon but i didnt found one on E-encyclopedia. After locating and reading an encylopedia and wikipedia on my topic i found appropriate using encyclopedia because its reliable source.

Hi Abdi,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your post on encyclopedias and Wikipedia. How do you know that Wikipedia is not a reliable source? What evidence can you show from the encyclopedia entry on the Lost Boys that made it more accurate, comprehensive, well-researched, or objective than the Wikipedia entry on the same topic?
I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Professor Wexelbaum
Hi Abidi
ReplyDeleteI think that other pros of wikipedia is that they provide current information about events and new technology.Anyway that was a good comparison but i just wanted to add the above credits to wikipedia.
