Understand Wikipedia & Wikimedia

Working in the school system I hear a lot of things about Wikipedia. Almost every kid that comes into my room speaks about how their English teacher says they are not allowed to site it. When I ask why they say because anyone can edit it. If those people would actually edit it then they would know how it works. I use Wikipedia very often. And though I understand the teachers point in that students should source scholarly articles or even books. I appreciate what Wikipedia does and is trying to do. I enjoyed editing certain things. Although it was pretty challenging finding something to edit but overall it was an enjoyable experience.
