Untrustable sources?

Since anyone can edit and/or create a Wiki, you cannot asure that the information they are writing is true and trustable.
If you want information you can rely on, look for PDF files, they are reliable, true and evaluated by experts... There's no way you'll find false information in one of those!

Disadvantages

1. The simple design of the wiki and the need to keep formatting simple (so as to enable those unskilled in html to edit pages) limits the complexity of the documents that can be created in a wiki.
2. Even though nothing can be destroyed in a wiki (as it can be retrieved from the wiki history), the original formatting is lost, meaning that it can be time consuming to recreate what was deleted.
3. It is not always obvious what has been altered (unless users each agree to use a different color font, but this requires coordination of effort that can stifle the ease of use of the wiki.

Advantages

1. Very easy to create and edit with no understanding of html or web page design.
2. Efficient method of students sharing and organizing information.
3. In addition to the text on the page, any type of digital file can be uploaded to and shared by linking to them from the wiki page.

Weird and funny stuff about Wikis

• What does Wiki mean? If you look it up in a dictionary, it'll probaly be a long and boring definition, but the short answer is that "WikiWiki" is Hawaiian for "quick"
• The first Wiki was created in 1995

What is a Wiki?

1. Wiki is a piece of server that allows users to freely create and edit Web pages content using any Web browser.
2. A web page whose content can be edited by anyone who has been given editing privileges (without any knowledge of html or web design); wiki is located on host server, but can be accessed and edited using web browser from any computer connected to the Internet.
