WK 1. Wikipedia: reliable sources - Hanane Ben abdeslam

According to the reading, articles on Wikipedia should base on reliable sources. Reliable sources mean that the information in articles come from sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. However, in the reading it says that the word “source” has three related meanings: the piece of work itself, the creator of the work and the publisher of the work. Three similar things that you mostly see coming back in an article. 

Before reading the article, I didn’t know that every article on Wikipedia has to follow a guideline to become a reliable source. This means to cite all information you add to articles, to be sure all information is verifiable, and not to include original research in your additions. If you get known for being a reliable source, it is more likely that your edits will be trusted.

After the reading I know that every article has to have reliable sources, but we can gain so many data and information from different sources, so who knows if these sources are accuracy, who is going to check it? Wikipedia is not going to check every source that comes in.

Social development is a concept that can only be said when economic development and collective mobilization and action are combined. Writer say that economic development is essential, but that it should have certain social goals because it can lead to some undesirable consequences.
