As the school year winds down and final projects and papers are written many long hours will be spent researching.  Reference books and library cards are traded for late night Google searches and blog reading.  What is understood as fact online can often be fiction.  It is much easier to find information now with technology, but it is much harder to determine if the information is correct.  Wikipedia, though it ryhmes with encyclepdia, is edited by ANYONE.  This article shows how correct information is sometimes less important than quick information.  Student hoaxes world media with fake quote.
