Editing On Wikipedia

Decent Essays
Not editing on Wikipedia in months has been an astonishment. I have been turning my head to the Wikia Fandom where countless Wikias are created (James Bond, Wookiepedia, Literature Wikia, etc.). They are so much better off than Wikipedia and have more lenient policies than the strict Wikipedia ones which make it difficult for the common man to create a single article. In contrast to Wikipedia, it's so much easier for anyone to create an article as long as they stick to what a particular Wikia is about. This particular policy is beneficial to fans since they don't have to have any of the articles removed or their edits reverted. What's even better, you can create your own!!!!!!:D Since there will be no one to nag you about the articles create …show more content…
You Wikipedia critics don't like enhancing anyone else's ideas (particularly fans'), you all just like to delete, revert, revert and delete 100 more times so their ideas vanish out of existence. It's not only to enforce Wikipedias policies, but it seems to be a hobby to your hoard since you enjoy the sport of deleting and reverting ideas of die hard fans. So, I'm sitting on top of the diamond mountain celebrating my contributions to the wikias I've joined and created with my ideas still intact with minimal interference with the support of several users who admire me, compared to Wikipedia who is 100 times more of an interference than the Wikia Fandom. I have joined several wikias and contributed more to the 007 wikia than ever before than the other wikias I've joined and created. At least I own something in the Fandom, compared to Wikipedia where no one owns anything. In 5 wikis I have made over 100 edits so far and my top wiki, I've made 904 edits. …show more content…
I tell you Wikipedia isn't trustworthy since anyone can edit here, they can say that the moon is made out of cheese. No schoolteacher or professor would recommend Wikipedia to their student bodies.

    There’s a number of considerations to think about when implementing a topology even as simple as this one. The only services we are currently implementing are DNS forwarding, NTP, NAT, a basic web server, and monitoring software across two devices. However, malicious users on the network could attempt to disrupt services or gain intelligence about the enterprise from the wiki. Due to this, security measures should be implemented such as Access Control Lists for only authenticated and authorized users to access or modify the wiki entries, as other users do not need to read or modify…

    Journalist and internet enthusiast, Clive Thompson, in his chapter “Public Thinking” in his book Smarter Than You Think publicized by Penguin Press, addresses the topic of internet usage, arguing that it has enhanced our way of writing and thinking. He supports these claims by stating that the internet has given us a more logical and abstract understanding of certain topics. Clive also states that due to the internet we have managed to create a plethora of writing, whether it be a status on Facebook or a tweet on twitter. Thompson’s purpose is to inform the readers of how the computer network has influenced our overall ways of life in order to overcome the commonplace belief that the internet has had a negative impact on our writing and overall knowledge. Thompson generates a didactic tone of voice in order to sway the views of his audience, the readers of “Public Thinking- an audience of educated professionals and those who value the use of technology.…

    In his book entitled Public Thinking, Clive Thompson, a columnist for The New York Times, argues that historically the American culture has been primarily focused on reading, not writing, and this shift to multiple avenues of internet media has given millions an outlet to get writing and the ability to publish, thus contributing to an expansion of knowledge. He supports that claim by providing various examples of online composition such as blog posts, Facebook statuses, as well as Twitter tweets to describe the personal aspect of publishing online, but also represents the ability to share your creative “e-book” style writing when addressing fan fiction novels. Thompson proposes that internet writers continue to find their niches and collaborate…

    Until then I will have to continue to shout that the sky was blue” (Messer-Kruse 4). He states this immediately after an editor tells him that their job, as editors, is to report what reliable sources write. It is apparent that the author misunderstood the editor and thought that the editor was invaliding the author’s research. Hence, the author responds sarcastically by saying that maybe one day his work will be accept by enough people that they can change the Wikipedia page. His sarcastic response to this statement, and negative view of the editor’s response demonstrate that he does not view Wikipedia as a reliable and legitimate method of…

    The internet helps people simply find knowledge from Wikipedia and discuss academic question on the forums. Thus, the academic forums and Wikipedia are supplemental evidences to prove that the Internet can do things which the college do. This idea confirms the function of the internet but ignores that quality of knowledge on the Internet is not valid. As we know neither academic forums nor Wikipedia belong in any colleges or universities or educational institution. Generally, most of the similar websites on the internets are open source and free to be edited.…

    Even when I had been going through middle school and high school, my teachers had always been very clear about not using Wikipedia as a source. They would only go as far as to suggest that it could be used as a start for research, but never as an actual source for a project. She uses examples of student’s interviews, the fact that it is constantly updated, and how it has a better example of the American Revolution than an advanced class. She discusses how students had been told to not use Wikipedia as a “main source”, but they were not told why they were not allowed to use Wikipedia or why other sources were more trustworthy. People use Wikipedia to spread their knowledge and, it is usually much easier for people to understand a difficult topic if it is explained by another…
