Communal online encyclopedias represent one of the latest resources to be found on the Internet. They are in many respects like traditional printed encyclopedias collections of articles on various subjects. What is specific to these online encyclopedias, however, is that any Internet user can contribute a new article or make an editorial change in an existing one. As a result, the encyclopedia is authored by the whole community of Internet users. The idea might sound attractive, but the communal online encyclopedias have several important problems that make them much less valuable than traditional, printed encyclopedias.
First, contributors to a communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials, thereby making their contributions partially informed at best and downright inaccurate in many cases. Traditional encyclopedias are written by trained expertswho adhere to standards of academic rigor that nonspecialists cannot really achieve.
Second, even if the original entry in the online encyclopedia is correct, the communal nature of these online encyclopedias gives unscrupulous users and vandals or hackers the opportunity to fabricate, delete, and corrupt information in the encyclopedia. Once changes have been made to the original text, an unsuspecting user cannot tell the entry has been tampered with. None of this is possible with a traditional encyclopedia.
Third, the communal encyclopedias focus too frequently, and in too great a depth, on trivial and popular topics, which creates a false impression of what is important and what is not. A child doing research for a school project may discover that a major historical event receives as much attention in an online encyclopedia as, say, a single long-running television program. The traditional encyclopedia provides a considered view of what topics to include or exclude and contains a sense of proportion that online "democratic" communal encyclopedias do not.
The article states that communal online encyclopedias are less valuable than traditonal, printed encyclopedias and gives three reasons of support. However, the professor argues that its the ignorance of people about how far has it come, that is the issue and refutes each of the author's reasons.
First, the reading claims that contributors of communal online encyclopedia lack academic credentials that makes partially informed and inaccurate in many cases. However, the professor states that perfect encyclopedia can never be found. He further states that it is easy to correct the errors in online encyclopedia than on printed one.
Second, the article states that information can be deleted and corrupted by vandals and hackers in online encyclopedia. The professor refutes this by stating that online encyclopedia keeps its crucial informations in read only format so that none can be able to edit such information. The professor further explains that there are special editors who judge all the changes that happen in online encyclopedia.
Third, the reading posits that online encylopedia focuses on trivial and popular topics that confuse people about what is important and what is not. The professor opposes this by stating that space prolem is only on traditonal encyclopedia so that every informations should be judged before publishing it. However,the professor says that space is not an issue at all on online encyclopedia and it offers a variety of informations to satisfy diverse users.
