ommunal 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 experts who 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.
Both the reading and the lecture are about online encyclopedias. Which are one of the biggest resources represented in the internet. The reading section explains that, online encyclopedias have several problems and are less important; however, the lecture contradicts with the reading section and says that online encyclopedias have a great value for the people who using it.
To begin with, the reading section says that online encyclopedias lack academic credentials to check the errors like traditional encyclopedias; on the other hand, the lecture says that, errors in traditional encyclopedias remain for decades and the errors were not corrected after many years.
Secondly, the reading makes the point that, online encyclopedias are hack able which hackers can remove, edit and alter the texts. The lecture challenges the reading section and implies that online encyclopedias have a parts in it that are not editable. In addition, they have reviewers that, check the important parts of an article and remove harmful and invalid information.
Finally, the reading section implies that, online encyclopedias focus on the well-known articles and cause wrong impression on unnecessary ideas, the lecture challenges the reading section by adding that articles have crucial focus on the main ideas, and online encyclopedias have a great diversity of articles which is very important for the researchers to explore.
