Wikipedia

I don't think they will ever get Wikipedia to be a reliable source but if they can it will take a long time. Every English professor that I have had in South Alabama has not accepted Wikipedia as a source for papers. I have always been told by these professors that it is very likely that the information on this site is not factual because anyone can put words on the site. I have never used Wikipedia to gain knowledge because I don't trust it. Even if they fix the problem I still do not think that many people will take the site any more factual. Viewers will still worry about the reliability of the information.
