Abstract (in 500 words)
On date, Wikipedia is surfed to get some basic preliminary information on a subject but the authenticity of the information is not considered trustworthy. Based on basic information, the search engines like google and bing are searched to get more reliable and authentic information. The submission will try to share on ideas to change the mindset so that the information available on wikipedia is relied upon, is trusted. The purpose is to address the issue even if we are not able to participate in the event.
