eReviewGuide.com Releases Wikipedia Survival Guide

Bellevue, WA, August 18, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Because of the high ranking Google gives Wikipedia entries, Wikipedia has secured an outsized share much of online research. More often than not, Wikipedia is the starting place of many research paper, term paper and white paper writers. Not only do students benefit from Wikipedia but also market researchers, stock analysts and other professionals. However, Wikipedia has a dark side. This dark side is part of the reason it is successful. It is an open community edited resource. Meaning, anybody can anonymously create a page or make changes on a Wikipedia page. While this exponentially expands the amount of knowledge Wikipedia stores, it also makes it prone to abuses, pranks and bad information.

“Wikipedia can easily become a trap,” said Oliver Thompson, media relations consultant for eReviewGuide.com, the internet’s leading reference site for technology software and a wide range of other specialized information. “If used improperly, Wikipedia can get you expelled for plagiarism, can torpedo your term paper grade, can cause professional embarrassment and all sorts of headaches. People need to use Wikipedia with proper tools.” Users of Wikipedia fall into two camps. Readers and editors. Readers use Wikipedia to research information, editors use Wikipedia to create pages. Editors may be driven by the desire to share information or to brand a product, to champion a cause or to raise awareness. “Regardless of whether you are a user or an editor, using eReviewGuide.com’s how to use Wikipedia reference guide can help add value to your Wikipedia experience,” said Thompson.
