http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_cloning
My topic is on human cloning and whether it should or should not be legal.
This article on wikipedia is considered a controversial topic. Reading through the discussion page, basically everything that is mainly based on the writer's point of view was taken out. A lot of the statements which were taken out were, in my opinion, somewhat disagreeable. I didn't notice this, however, when I read the article itself. I thought it was very informative and it broke things down for me very well. It also explained each side of the controversy instead of being one sided or biased.
This page is, in my opinion, is a great example of wikipedia's potential.
It defines the topic and breaks it does into subtopics.
Not only, since so many people are contributing to the page, it shows all the different biases it could have.
I think wikipedia just needs more time to get better and better. It may have problems now but we should be taught how to identify these problems instead of shunning it out of our schools all the way.
Maybe one day we can wikipedia a topic and find it sufficient enough for whatever we need it for.
