“…Although research to date has not focused on the credibility of Wikipedia for political information specifically, studies have shown that user-created entries in Wikipedia are about as accurate as well-regarded print encyclopedias such as Encyclopaedia Britannica (Andrews, 2007;Giles, 2005;Williams, 2008), and entries from Wikipedia have been evaluated as credible, particularly by area experts (Chesney, 2006). This is true despite Internet users' concerns about the credibility of the information found there (Metzger, Flanagin, and Medders, 2010;Nofrina et al, 2009), which may be driving results of studies showing that people perceive the same information to be less credible if they think it comes from Wikipedia than if they think it comes from Encyclopaedia Britannica Kubiszewski, Noordewier, and Costanza, 2011).…”
