Wikipedia

After researching some topics in which i am interested in on Wikipedia, I have found it to be quite useful, however in parts, it can be inaccurate. For example, while researching the film, A night at the Roxbury, I have found that most information is correct, however, wrong information has been given about crucial events which take place during the film. This misinformation given has the power to completely alter the perception of the film. In another example, the legendary life of Jimi Hendrix has been documented by Wikipedia, with some cruicial information misrepresented, or completely false. This supports the notion that while Wikipedia is useful for gaining a limited understanding on a particular topic, it should not be used as a specific source for gaining information. It often creates emphasis on certain aspects of the information, which do not require emphasis. This makes one question the intentions of those who write such information, as well as the power they inhibit in doing so.
