world wide web has digitised information and converged the way we access information. We view newspapers online via a computer or on our mobile phones, and we look up information by searching a key word rather than flicking through an alphebetised encyclopedia. The internet provides us with a seemingly limitless source of information, and now, it also allows us to contribute to that information through blogs, wiki’s and other user-generated sites. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedic data-base with users

Wikipedia has been the subject of considerable debate for some time now. Some think the site is not quotable, while others argue that it is.
