Wikipedia Midterm analysis

I thought that our assignment on the Wikipedia audit was very interesting and also eye opening.  By taking a deeper look into Wikipedia, I was able to learn where the information from these articles was coming from.  Ive learned that Wikipedia isn't really the best source for information about certain topics.  I think the main function that Wikipedia holds in terms of information seeking is that it can touch the surface on topics to give the reader the main idea of the situation, but I wouldn't recommend using it as a scholarly source.  In our audit of the Katrina article on Wikipedia, we found that many of the sources were bias especially the information on the sociopolitical aspect of the article.  Although the factual information about the storm was accurate, such as statistical damage and other quantitative information.  The overall analysis of Wikipedia is that it contains a large amount of bias that needs to be taken into consideration while using Wikipedia to gain information.
