Thing #16 - Wikis

Unfortunately, I don't think Wikipedia is that reliable of a source since just about anyone can make changes to the various articles, etc. and I don't think it's commonly accepted as a reliable source either for just that reason. I wish it was though because there's a lot of information you can find there. I've never really paid much attention to the tabs at the top of the pages and I didn't know that some pages require permission before you can alter them. So maybe Wikipedia is more reliable than I had previously thought. And the history tab is useful because it lets you see just who was making changes to the page you're viewing.
