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 experts who adhere to standards of academic rigor that nonspecialists cannot really achieve.
The reading and the lecture are both about the Communal online and tradicional encyclopedias. The author of the reading feels that there are three explanations for the use of the tradicional encyclopedia. The lecture challenges the claims made by de author. She is of the opinion that these explanations are faulty.
To begin with, the author argues that traditional encyclopedias are written by trained experts who understand the academic rigor that need to be used. The article mentions that this communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials and contributions are partially informed in many cases. This specific argument is challenged by the lecture. She states that mistakes can have in both types of cases. Moreover, she says that in online encyclopedia the authors can change the error quickly, but in the tradicional type a fault information may will be correct in more time.
Secondly, the writer suggest that the tradicional encyclopedias are safe of vandals or hackers. In the article, it is said that in online encyclopedia someone can have the opportunity to fabricate, delete, and corrupt information. The lecture, however, rebuts this by mentioning that in communal online style there are main informations that can not be changed. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that online encyclopedias have specials editors who eliminated informations that are fallacy.
Finally, the author posits that traditional encyclopedia provides a sense of proportion and a"democratic" point of view. Moreover, in the article it is stated that communal encyclopedias focus on trivial and popular topics that are not the principal point of determined subject. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that in communal online encyclopedias there are enough space to put all of information about determined topic. She notes that tradicional encyclopedias do not have much spaces as an online encyclopedias. So, she believes that many topics do not represent the real interest of information that people are searching.
