<P> Wikipedia's radical openness means that any given article may be, at any given moment, in a bad state: for example, it could be in the middle of a large edit or it could have been recently vandalized . While blatant vandalism is usually easily spotted and rapidly corrected, Wikipedia is certainly more subject to subtle vandalism than a typical reference work . </P> <P> In June 2007, an anonymous Wikipedia contributor became involved in the Chris Benoit double murder and suicide because of an unverified piece of information he added to the Chris Benoit English Wikipedia article . This information regarding Benoit's wife's death was added fourteen hours before police discovered the bodies of Benoit and his family . Police detectives seized computer equipment from the man held responsible for the postings, but believed he was uninvolved and did not press charges . </P> <P> The IP address from which the edit was made was traced to earlier instances of Wikipedia vandalism . The contributor apologized on Wikinews, saying: </P> <P> I will never vandalize anything on Wikipedia or post wrongful information . I will never post anything here again unless it is pure fact...</P>

Wikipedia is a good source to use for course hero
