The Internet has revolutionized the world. It has created a free and easy way to access information. However, it can be hard to sort through all of the information available. The free online encyclopedia Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page tries to solve this problem by providing one comprehensive systematic place to go to find out information on many topics. With, according to Wikipedia, more than 75,000 active contributors working on some 7.9 million articles in 253 languages Wikipedia is an active and vibrate community. With the policy that anyone can edit its articles, Wikipedia grows quickly however it also has problems with vandalism. These problems are usually easy to spot and be corrected. However, a greater problem is the editors’ viewpoint being promoted instead of balanced research.
