Thing 18

I have used Wikipedia on many occasions and even cited it in an essay. It was on natural versus controlled vocabulary for the Principles of Information Retrieval module of my library qualification. Wikipedia had the best, basic definitions of what the two things were.




I have also, in the past, been interested bt the debates that can occur - one where a contributor was accused of anti-semitism in a biography they wrote (I couldn't see it myself, but I wasn't all that familiar with the subject) and versions were changed on a daily basis. That became more fascinating than any of the entries!

It is great to have so much information available but it is important to ensure that the facts are correct.
