Wikipedia Comparison

       I decided to try to compare the new head coach for the San Francisco 49ers. I first looked on Wikipedia and found some information that appeared very accurate. I tried to find the same coach on Britannica and I had no results from the search. From this experience I found that Wikipedia has a larger database and access to more information.
       I like how Wikipedia is easily edited because new information shows up quickly. For example, this coach, Jim Harbaugh, was just named head coach yesterday and the Wikipedia article has already been updated. However, having information that can be changed so quickly and easily will affect the authenticity of the facts. I don't think I would use this as a source for factual information but I would use it just for my own interest in information.
