Wikipedia Emerges as Trusted Internet Source for Ebola Information | Communications Major | Scoop.it

The encyclopedia’s main Ebola article has had 17 million page views in the last month, rivaling pages from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


The editors of Wikipedia’s Ebola page say they earned a place as one of those credible sources. To protect against misinformation, potential editors must suggest adds or changes to the article on a separately maintained page, where editors review them and decide whether to incorporate them.
