Wikipedia is a well known online project that has very good structured information. There are thousands of articles that are similar to those encyclopedias published every year, but wiki has more advantages. From the website every visitor can see that Wiki is about everything from history to physics etc. The good thing about online encyclopedia is that it updates every single minute, because it has an open model of communication. People all round the world log in and share their information with other. But Wiki is considered to scientific online book. And it has some rules policies and regulations. Every person can write anything, but it should be credible, out sourced and true. In order to check those writers put the links below the articles and trough out their writings.Is Wiki credible or not? The answer is yes and no. I personally trust this website, because mostly all articles are out sourced and checked somehow by creators of the site and people who participate in writing and creating a good online encyclopedia. Wikipedia has an open structure. Everyone can access to every article after reading it and correct or add something to that. The information is always updating and it is possible that some of it sometimes is not correct. But again people see this material and correct it. The negative effect also lies in the open structure. There will be always vandals who try to collapse the project. They can reach and write anything they like to any article. But you have the same opportunity to correct this vandalism and so do most people round the world. It is very good opportunity to share your personal findings with the community and see how people react to your article, correct you or argue.From our group weblogs I wouldn’t say that we have the same open communication with the audience. The only opportunity people have is to leave their comment. They do not have the chance to correct your article. Also comments can be moderated. And it depends on our objective thinking on whether to publish anyone’s comment or not!
