Factual Errors In 60 Per Cent Wikipedia Articles

Are you one of those who instantly turn to Wikipedia to learn about facts and figures? Well, you may not be relying on the right source for information. According to a recent report, almost 60 per cent of entries in Wikipedia have factual errors. Marcia W DiStaso, assistant professor of public relations at Penn State University, the research firm that carried out the study said, "It does not surprise me that so many Wikipedia entries contain factual errors. A high amount of factual errors doesn't work for anyone, especially the public, which relies on Wikipedia for accurate, balanced information.” [Via IBN Live]
