online communal encyclopedias

The reading asserts that the online communal encyclopedias have some drawbacks compared to traditional encyclopedias, while the lecturer disagrees with the criticisms.
First, the reading says the online communal encyclopedias’ entries contain so many mistakes as they are authored by nonacademic people and that they do not entitled to strict academic standards. In contrast, the lecturer notes that it is unfair to claim that communal encyclopedias are filled with errors. In her point of view, there are so many mistakes in traditional encyclopedias too, but one of the main advantages of online communal encyclopedias is that the errors can easily and quickly be corrected.
Secondly, the reading posits that the hackers can corrupt the content of online communal encyclopedias’; therefor they are not reliable sources. On the other hand, the lecturer explains that online communal encyclopedias have taken steps to protect their content from hackers’ manipulation. One strategy is that the pages containing the crucial facts are presented in read-only format, which means that users can’t edit them. Next, there are especial editors who monitor all the revisions and eliminate the malicious ones.
Third, the reading states that communal encyclopedias focuses too much on trivial issues and that they devote too much of their content to just popular topics. Consequently they give false impression about which information is important and which is not. On the contrary, the lecturer believes that the traditional encyclopedias have space limitation, and that is why they have to limit their texts. In her opinion not having space limitation is one of the strongest advantages of online communal encyclopedias which enable them to reflect great diversity of public interests.
