Wiki is a website or a resourceful forum or so which lets anyone edit, add, or delete things to it. Wikipedia is a very complex encyclopedia. It has diverse factors that decides whether its accurate or not. It allows documents to be written collectively in a simple language using just a web browser. Wiki can be defined as “what I know is” in acronym, which describes the knowledge contribution, exchange function, and storage. The word wiki can also point out to the join software itself, the wiki engine, that it facilitates the operation of such a Web site. or another site that has been implied, including sites like Wikipedia. There are many sites like Wikipedia that support wiki but are not as good as it. Professional Encyclopedias do not get updated frequently because it is a book;however, its written by professionals. Professional Encyclopedias are not 100% accurate in some areas because the authors are not totally sure of that subject. Wikipedia has people from all over the world so even the most hidden secret can be exploited. It also has links on the bottom which can lead to further instigation of the subject the user is looking for. In a professional encyclopedia, there is nothing after the subject; the person must search for himself what he needs. Professional Encyclopedias also lack subject matters. It does not have as many things Wikipedia has such as modern information on matters like games. Wikipedia has pretty much every detail of every item of everything. Then the subject rises of bias in WIkipedia. There are numerous articles that are blocked to be edited due to the bias and things people write. The article on George Bush is one of those articles that is blocked because it gets edited so much with so much bias and it is not accurate. Most of the information on Wikipedia is very bias because it is written by normal people instead of professionals. It has loads of opinions and lies on some political topics because many things are either insulted or recognized a whole lot. Information on movies and songs are also bias because people write what they feel like. A encyclopedia is supposed to be pure facts and no opinions at all. Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and that is not a safe option. People can accuse other people of doing things they never did and if the information goes in the wrong hands, conflicts can easily rise. Information can also be misleading sometimes. Biographies are sometimes misleading immensely. If the author of the article does not like the person they are writing about, they might put in some extra opinions of their own. On the positive side, blocked articles do not have a lot of opinions because they have been thoroughly edited by authorized people. Sometimes, good people edit articles and they are not bias. They tell straight forward facts and they rectify other false information. Wikipedia is probably going to gain more bias throughout the future because people edit more things everyday and it is likely it might just become a primary source of knowledge.
