I think it was important to read it, I might not quite like it due that it is not the type of writings I enjoy reading but I think there are a hidden message in it that needed to be addressed.
In my point of view It was mainly about whether Wikipedia is a benefiting source to get information from or should be avoided and not worth to be taken seriously. according to the report (Wikipedia Pops Up in Bibliographies and Even College Assignments) ” Ani Schug was told to steer clear of Wikipedia. Her teachers talked about the popular online encyclopedia “as if it wasn’t serious or trustworthy” and suggested it only be used as a tip sheet” ( Larry Gordon, page 952) .
I think the genre of this report writing is a Expository Writing, and the tone is Informative.
the intended Audience can be writers and college students.
I think the purpose is to share a research and discuss it which is the use of Wikipedia.
in my opinion there is no harm on using Wikipedia to just get some information but no to depend or rely on it as a trusted sources and that’s due the mistakes and incompleteness that it might have, according to the report ” Even with complaints of mistakes and incompleteness, Wikipedia has a powerful reach” ( Wikipedia Pops Up in Bibliographies and Even College Assignments, page 954).
