In order to post something on a wiki, you must be a member. The advantages of being member is that you can edit other members wikis. I did not know these two fact until after I read this article. A "wiki" is a website where every page can be edited by whoever is reading it. There are many advantages and disadvantages in using wikis. Due to members being able to edit wikis, the information posted may sometimes be false or misleading. A wiki, however is very helpful when doing a large group project. It is very simple to write down notes. Websites such as wikipedia.com are sometimes prohibited to be used in research papers because of its uncertainty. Teachers don't want their students taking what sometimes is false information and using it in research papers. I personally enjoy reading websites such as wikipedia. It is a fast and easy way to look up something you are interested about. Wikipedia.com has every possible information and everything possible. Subjects you might not expect to be on their are on this website. Its an online encyclopedia. Another "wiki" website is wikianswers.com. It has answers to many questions. Only problem is that there are more than one answer that disagree with each other. Wikis are a good way to quickly learn something but in order to really learn about it in depth, you must actually study it instead of just reading up on it.
