Virginia Tech and Wikipedia

It is not surprising to me that wikipedia was one of the leading websites to broadcast information from all over the globe on the VT shooting. Being the lead editing-based website, it is no wonder that hundreds of thousands of contributions were created in response to the shootings. It is instances like this which make it clear as to why so many people use this amazing site. Not only is there information from popular servers, but there is also a plethora of extra knowledge from others around the world. I can imagine that wikipedia was the most informative and helpful website involving the events of that tragic April morning in Virginia. After reading this article, I visitied this particular wiki site and was blown away at the number of posts that layed before me. There was information from people in other countries, as well as information from people who were witnesses to this tradgedy. Of course, as mentioned in the article, there is always inaccurate information given on these sites, and it is up to its true readers to edit this false material. Again, we are so lucky to have access to sites such as wikipedia, as they are, in my opinion, the most informative site on the web.
