By watching this video, I have learned a few things about Wikipedia. Many of my past teachers have instructed me not to use this site, but from what I have observed, it is not as bad as people make it out to be. Wikipedia has only one employee, though it has many volunteers. These volunteers are a team of people who edit the site and control some of the so called "chaos." They are provided with "watch lists," which include articles on the site to monitor. Along with this, I like quite a few things about this site, including the fact that most of the funding is by donations, and that Wikipedia is used in various different languages. I also like that those who run the site can lock certain articles so that no one can edit or vandalize them. One thing I disagree with about this Wikipedia is that people can vote to take articles out of the site. In my opinion, everyone has something to say, and if they are lucky enough to get an article published they should have the right to keep it that way.
