Virgil Griffith debuted the WikiScanner last year that allows users to track edits (even if they are anonymous) that people make to Wikipedia entries and trace them to their source. He explains,"It does so by taking the IP address of the anonymous person who made the Wikipedia changes and identifying who owns the computer network from which the person made the edits." Predictions are that this tool will eventually make Wikipedia a more reliable source. People will be less willing to participate in editing if they are no longer anonymous. I personally do not think that Wikipedia will ever be a completely trusted source of information.
Good job Emily. Please make sure your graphics are ADA accessible. When I roll over, all I get is a "hand".
