Wikipedia : To Edit or Not Edit, that is the question

I will usually use Wikipedia as a jumping off point when I am trying to find information as I know that it is an unreliable source. I like to use it as a jumping off point as it will give me some other ideas as to where I can look for information on a specific topic, this is great as there are times that I am unable to find information on a topic as I do not know much about that topic and thus don’t necessarily know where to look. When I worked in one of the local schools, I would tell the students that they should try and use websites that ended in .org or .edu as these sites were more reliable when it came to acquiring information and that Wikipedia was a good place to get some ideas of what they can use to look things up. Having said all of this, I found that it was not difficult to find an article that needed editing. I recently returned from a trip to Jamaica and found that I am interested in a place that I learned about while I was travelling from the airport to the resort. This place is known as Rose Hall and what peeked my interest about it was the story about Annie Palmer, a lady that is connect to this place. When I looked up Rose Hall on Wikipedia, I found that there was a little bit of information in regards to the building itself as well as some information about Annie Palmer. There was not much information on either the building or the person. This lead me to do more research, using websites that are more reliable, which lead me to realize that there was some information on Wikipedia that was not correct. I then did make some changes/additions to the section about Annie Palmer.
