NPR Blog on Wickipedia

I think wickipedia is a good source for information but I worry that there is too much information that can be altered or simply inaccurate. Virgil Griffith, who created the wiki scanner had a great idea in mind when he created it. However, there are two many loop holes in the system that allow users to manipulate wickipedia. Whether a user does the updating of information from a public or private IP address is non-standing. If one is seeking to present information that is misleading it can simply access wickipedia from any IP other than the one that they are responsible for. The scanner, will help with the casual use of wickipedia, but those who have vested interest can use multiple sources to update their information. I conclude that this will not result in wockipedia being more reliable. In the end, it will not be a reliable online encyclopedia, but another site with too much information to determine what is accurate.
