Wikipedia Scam

Wow! I had no idea about this. I always use Wikipedia as a source for anything; It is usually the first website I go to. This guy is super smart for discovering a way to uncover who has edited what and when in Wikipedia. It is such a wake-up call for folks to understand that you can't always believe what you hear, or READ. We usually believe anything we see or read on the internet just because, well, we feel like it is an accurate source, but apparently it is not.

I think that is a great thing that this grad student discovered this. We can uncover the truth about politicians, big corporations, or musicians. We can see the things that they do not want us to see. We can finally see the truth. Wikipedia is something that most of us feel that we can rely on, and we now know that is not the case. Fortunately, there is now something we can do about it.
