An editorial is an opinion piece written by the senior editorial staff. I found interesting this article that talks about Wikipedia and how it's changed since its born in 2001.
My teachers told me to be careful to use Wikipedia as information source because everybody can edit it and the information could be incorrect or wrong. Therefore, most of them don't allow me to work on it, while others make me use it just as a starting point of my researches.
I've never thought about what was exactly Wikipedia; I just saw it as a reliable information source. Now, thanks to this article, I understand that it's important to have quickly information which, however, could be incorrect. Therefore, it's something useful to use carefully.
