Double Entry Journal #8

1. "Wikipedia is a multilingual, Web-based encyclopedia project, operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, a nonprofit organization." 
2.  I personally would point out that many people research and look at Wikipedia everyday and most misinformation gets corrected before too much time goes by.
3.  The put their faith in the wisdom of the crowds.
4.  He believed that the information should give more authority to experts.
5.  Abuse could be slander about a person, a company editing their page to protect their self-interests, or a political entity editing a rivals page with misinformation.
6.  The stats provide evidence of Wikipedia's enormous popularity as well as displays the incredible amount of information on many various topics that it holds.
7.  I think that Wikipedia is so successful because the information  is generally correct and because it is usually the 1st website on the list when you use a search engine.
8.  If Wikipedia accepted money from advertising the site would more than likely become biased towards those   companies paying for advertisement.
9.  It erases anonymity of people and lends credibility to the information posted by not allowing information to edit with self-interest go uncorrected or unnoticed.
