The Wikipedia's founder said that teacher want to tell students the definition in Wikipedia is not always they wanted and sometimes that ideas can lead the students in a wrong way. the answer in Wikipedia always good and convenient to research, but the students need to separate which one is they needed and which one is not useful. Because of all the sources are getting together and students should compare and choose which one is good for them research.

During the interview, The Wikipedia's founder whose named Wale suggested that Wikipedia is used in many ways. Such as the reader read a history book and they confused something in the book. Then they can use Wikipedia to search what they want. It's pretty simple way to search, maybe only for a vocabulary or a name they want to know. By contrast, for the students, they study in history subject. When they did their homework, they not only to do research only for a word or a sentence, but only need to know the whole story for the book or history. That Wiki's information is not enough any more. The students need to work hard by themselves without Wiki.
