Wikipedia
From grade school through high school, students are always told that Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. Even though, teachers always said that Wikipedia was still the website that I would always turn to for fast information. I find Wikipedia to be an extremely valuable starter website. It gives you what you need to know and fast then you can scroll to the bottom where it normally has referenced websites which are normally accredited websites. You can use those websites as sources after already getting the information from Wikipedia. So, personally I love Wikipedia and will continue to use it. I think as time goes on people including teachers will start to see that Wikipedia is not made up information but instead is a collaboration of information from accredited websites. Wikipedia is constantly updated with new information as things are constantly changing. I like to think of it as the perfect encyclopedia that is able to change with constant updates in history. It also has people monitoring the website so that false information is immediately taken down.
