They are in many respects like traditional printed e
2、ncyclopedias 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
3、. 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 communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials, thereby making their contributions
4、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 non-specialists cannot really achieve. Second, even if the original entry in the online encyclopedia is correct, the communal nat
5、ure 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 ben made to the original text, an unsuspecting user cannot tell the entry has been tampered with. None of this is pos
6、sible 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.

9、ism that encyclopedias online have errors. Traditional encyclopedias have never been close to perfectly accurate, if you are looking for a realty comprehensive reference work without any mistakes, you are not going to find it, on or off line. The real point is that its easy for errors in factual mat

Online encyclopedias have recognized the importance of protecting their articles from malicious hackers. One strategy that started suing is to put the crucial
11、 facts in the articles that nobody disputes in a read-only format, which is a format that no one can make changes to. That way you are making sure that the crucial facts in the articles are reliable. Another strategy thats being used is to have special editors whose job is to monitor all changes mad

The problem for traditional encyclopedias is that they have limited space, so they have to decide whats important and whats not. And in practice, the judements of the group of academics that m
13、ake these decisions dont reflect the great range of interests that people really have. But space is definitely not an issue for online encyclopedias. The academic articles are still represented in online encyclopedias, but there can be a great variety of articles and topics that accurately reflect the great diversity of users interests. The diversity of use in topics that online encyclopedias offer is one of their strongest advantages.
