What do you feel about the public able to edit and put in stories about other people in the case of Wikipedia?

Question

I think it's dangerous and people are going to use it to publish lies on celebrities/famous people they hate.

I need concrete answers and mature opinions. If you can't add a mature opinion, please don't answer my question.

Answer 1

I think it's a cool social experiment. I've gone there to check out things that I know a lot about and for the most part the things posted there are very accurate. I have gone in and tweaked some minor points- which is pretty gratifying.

On subjects that are controversial I wonder if there is a chance to find a way to speak to one another and I'm curious to see how that pans out. In that format if you go crazy and write your most far out ideas, they're going to be edited out by other people, so you are forced to think it through and write what you know to be true.

Regarding celebrities/famous people... their lives are unfortunately already all about being lied about or having people condemn them for things they can't control like getting older or for things they're already upset about like weight gain or divorce. The celebrities we think we know through the media are guaranteed to be completely different in real life. And frankly, it's none of our business how they are in real life. Our business in their lives, in my opinion, ends when the movie or CD or TV show ends.

Answer 2

So does the news.

Answer 3

Ask Sinbad.
