Seems like everyone has a wiki-something these days, it really surprises me how they’ve taken off. Are they a reliable source? I mean, can students you them as a credible source on assignments and whatnot? Anyway… that’s just been on my mind the last few days :)
One Wiki that has come to my attention is called SHOPwiki but more specifically the Home Furnishings and Decor section (yes, pretty pretty furniture at a high high price). One thing I looked at was the Bed Linens and Bedding Buying guide. It’s actually quite cute. It has descriptions of what things actually are… which leads me to a different question; in Australia most people use Doona’s on their beds but it doesn’t seem like they’re used in the US or that they’re called something different – Duvets apparently, huh, weird – onto words I’ve never heard before in relation to bedding… sham, a sham has always been a bit dodgy where I’m from :P
Ooh, I just found a section for Storage Benches for some reason I’ve always wanted one… unfortunately the page didn’t load correctly for me :( It says 6878 results – showing 1 through 15 but is blank… maybe this site doesn’t like FF? Which sucks because FF is going to take over the world one day and these sites will crumble – or hopefully, adapt.

I tried clicking on something else but alas it did not work either :( Maybe people are taking Wiki’s just a little bit too far.

  1. Wikis are not considered reliable sources as far as school work is concerned. The content posted on wikis is user-submitted and, therefore, not usually credible.

  2. At my college, we're not allowed to use Wiki as a source due to the fact that any one can log on and change the information.

  3. Haha, I don't use Wiki that much. I only use it when I'm desperate for answers and I can't find the info in any book. I usually use books or I ask people who are experts on the topic.

  4. Those Wiki sites are a guilty pleasure for me as I do rely on them quite a bit, but never admit it since it is kind of bias at times.

  5. I think they’re good for unofficial purposes and to get an idea of whatever it is you’re looking for, but you shouldn’t take that information as 100% certain.

  6. what’s wiki? LOL.

    Anyways Merry Christmas :)

  7. I got to use Wikipedia for only one paper I wrote during college.

    Merry Christmas.
