1. wikipedia is a free, web-based, collaborative,mulitlingual encyclopedia, and is also non-profit
2. i would think that wiki is pretty reliable because who would really spend that much time putting false facts in the pages.
3. the creators put their trust in really anybody who wants to put the info out there, and trust that it is correct
4. because of reports of child pornography
5. i think that abuse or vandalism would look like the "real" facts about the subject on the page, that way people wouldnt really catch it at first.
6. that statistics show that people trust other peoples word, or that that the users do not know that anybody can apply information
7.wiki is so successful because it is free, easy to use, and can answer just about any question the user wants to know.
8. if the creators accept advertising then eventually wiki would charge the users to look up info.
9. wikiscanner looks up everything and anything to validate the information that is being posted.
