Thing 15 Part 2 Thing 8

Wikipedia is a website full of information but I'm not quite sure it is all accurate information. I am not sure if it is filled with facts or opinions. We completed a research project last year about famous African Americans. I printed off the information for the students to research their African American. This was a second grade level project. We had a lot of parents complaining about the information on the website. I looked up Bill Cosby and found out a lot of things on Wikipedia were not accurate. For example his birthday. How can we rely on a web page to give us information if it is not correct. I believe this website can be updated by anyone. I feel that it is not an accurate resource for students. The history on Bill Cosby's page was updated but I do not if it is by one person or whom ever that wishes to add something to it.
