Wiki is a piece of server software that allows users to freely create and edit Web page content using any Web browser. Wiki supports hyperlinks and has a simple text syntax for creating new pages and crosslinks between internal pages on the fly.
It is fairly easy to edit a wiki page. It appears that some websites allow anyone to edit their pages. The positive side of this is that users may update a website at a timely manner. However, the easy acess to the website editing page also cause risks of having wrong information in the mean time.

To conclude, I believe that Wikis is a good website to get to know various information. However, as anyone could edit those information on that website, we should not use it as an authoritative source of reference. After reviewing the readings and resources for the unit, I still believe that Wiki is a good resource to get to know information but it cannot used to cite as official resource.
