Wikipedia 1, Encyclopedia Britannica 0
While looking up research for a graduate paper, I was searching the net for some information and found some interesting links.
At work I am constantly being given a hard time for using Wikipedia and even linking/referring my students to it.
Well fellow colleagues, I present a list of Errors in the Encyclopedia Britannica.
I know since this list is on Wikipedia everyone who already despises that site will still claim that since it is on Wikipedia and anyone can edit it then it can not be 100% accurate. Not only has Wikipedia listed the errors in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it has been found to be as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica. Proof 1, Proof 2.
I still don’t recommend using Wikipedia as your only resource, but for finding random information and the quick answers to nagging questions it is the best resource. I honestly feel that since the invention of Wikipedia I have read/learned more from the instant gratification of having such a large resource at my finger tips.
