Using a wiki in the class

Using a wiki in the class was very different because I was always told that I should not refer to Wikipedia for anything because anyone can edited things on there. Even though that is true I learned that a person would have to use references and that people can not just put any type of information on a Wikipedia nor can they put their opinion on there. I didn't think that using Wikipedia would be as semi-easy as it was because when I looed at other articles it would be full if information with tons of references and I figured that would be a difficult thing to accomplish, however, I was wrong. once I figured it out it was easy and I would not mind editing another Wikipedia article.
