Research Conclusion »

After thoroughly researching Wikis and their use in today's world, we came to the following conclusion:

Wikis like Wikipedia are a valuable starting resource for users; however, once a basic understanding of topics presented in such a wiki is attained, substantial sources should be pursued. For wikis that are the authority on a subject, they are perfectly suitable. The main concern with wikis in general is that not all of their information is portrayed objectively, or that not all information is portrayed to begin with. Unfortunately, there is not much that can be done about this.
