This blog was very informative on something that college students are always being reminded of. That is the fact that Wikipedia is not always reliable. This open policy that Wikipedia allows anyone to edit its contents makes this very people to change post that will help them or their business or even there public appearance. The Walmart post was especially obvious and definitely a way to persuade future employee's to consider what walmart has to offer.
Many questions can arise as to how can wikipedia regulate who can edit and change what is written about particular subjects. I think that if there is substantial proof that if someone has changed an entry in wikipedia that can benefit them or a particular person that is completely false that that person should be punish by the american judicial system. This must be regulated because it can hurt particular businesses as well by competition and disgruntled former employees.
