I am trying to put things into perspective for myself, students and staff and find
I have some questions regarding findarticles.com and Wikipedia. How can the
articles on findarticles.com be free when they come from journals and periodicals
which
are subscription driven? What is the criteria for the articles to be included on
this site? My English dept. is asking me and I told them I would check with the
"all-knowing"!
Also - regarding Wikipedia - this site pops up more and more frequently. Is my
understanding accurate that the content of the articles in Wikipedia can be edited,
updated, changed, by anyone who is on the site? How aften are the articles
reviewed?
Who is on the review board? Could misinformation stay on the site for rather
lengthy periods of time? The site seems to be getting quite positive reviews, so I
am just trying to be fully informed when working with the students and staff.
Please be aware that I have read the "About Us" information on both sites, but I
would appreciate further input.
