Paris Hilton and Wikipedia

A good article on "Wikipedia" would have the majority of people having a good explanation on the history of a specific person and their events (whether if its good or bad) on the "Main Page". A good example would be about Paris Hiltons' unethical and illegal acts toward society through out the years. This type of page in "Wikipedia" could be a nice educational item, because it could be used to study Paris' Case and used in such courses as POLS 330 or LEGS 300. There is alot of "discussions" about the Paris Hiltons' case and what events needed to be changed and updated about the case. I believe that Wikipedia should include accurate timeline information and sections of serious events (whether if its beneficial or damaging to that particular person who you are researching). Both of these characteristics are important because if you were to hire or invest your assets in such people as Paris Hilton you would need to know the whole truth before you invest your time and money in Paris or her business plans that she has at that time.

DISSENTING NOTE: One bad thing about Wikipedia that some college professors and k-12 teachers dislike this webiste is that people can change any post, anytime, and anywhere. This might lead to cases about defemation (libel about lying while writing, and slander about lying while giving presentations) in some situations due to wrong or malice posts on the website.
