Purpose
This paper seeks to look at the question of accuracy of content regarding Wikipedia and other internet encyclopædias.
Design/methodology/approach
By looking at other sources, the paper considers whether the information contained within Wikipedia can be relied on to be accurate.
Findings
Wikipedia poses as an encyclopædia when by no stretch of the definition can it be termed such; therefore, it should be subject to regulation.
Originality/value
The paper highlights the issue that, without regulation, content cannot be relied on to be accurate.
