Many people have tried using Wikipedia as a reference at one time or another, but have you ever wondered who is actually in charge of putting up all those articles and managing what is written in Wiki pages?
If you check the FAQ page in the Wikipedia homepage, you will be surprised that internet users, including yourself, are the ones in charge of Wikipedia’s content and information. You are even allowed to edit pages and articles so long as what you have to change on the page is helpful.
Wikipedia is the result of millions of people who have information to share on many different topics, and you can do the same thing as long as you know how to edit a page and have some encyclopedic knowledge that you are keen to share with other people.
If you are looking at a certain page of information and want to know when the recent change was made and who was responsible for it, you can click on the page history link to check. If you ever find an error in the information about a certain topic, you are encouraged to be bold and go ahead in correct it. After all, you will be doing everyone a favor by taking it upon yourself to correct the error and provide factual information to remedy these issues.
Wikipedia is the result of people coming together to combine their knowledge, which is why they encourage users to contribute what they know about almost every topic available.
