In Dianne's post 11/13/14 she explains that Wikipedia used to be a great resource for students in schools to use to easily find information. Unfortunately it has become unreliable because of the editing feature which allows anyone to edit or even tamper with information making it inaccurate. She provides a link for a new Wikipedia called Wikipedia For Schools which can be used by anyone and it provides access to articles and information that has been proof-read and is dependable.
