1 Lesson 12: Wikiality SOCI Thinking Critically about Social Issues Spring 2012

2 Learning outcomes Examine the ease at which Wikipedia entries can be altered (either innocently or maliciously) Discuss the accuracy of Wikipedia as an encyclopedia and consider the usefulness of any encyclopedia as a source of information (and reality).

3 “Please help me. I got an ‘F’ on my paper because I cited wikipedia.” Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, recently lamented that he gets 10 s of this sort every week. Despite Wales’ own stated views that Wikipedia provides “good enough” knowledge, students keep using it—and teachers keep giving out Fs.

Who is in charge of deciding what goes into an article and what gets removed? 3. If there is some debate about whether a particular bit of information should or should not be included in an article, what is the process for deciding? 4. What do you think about Colbert’s assessment that Wikipedia is “bringing democracy to knowledge”?
