- Abstract (maximum 500 words)
Wikipedia at the time of its infancy, was known as a Universal source for information. People loved to include Wikipedia as reference in their work. But gradually it started loosing its charm and shines what it had initially. Earlier, it was considered as one of the authentic source of knowledge but now many people doubt on its authenticity. Something has to be done to prevent this especially for authenticity of the information provided on Wiki.
