Hi Sarah

The research bit isn't timed so don't panic, keep calm and look properly on the net, wikipedia is always a good place to start if you find the search engines too much.

Good Luck

Be careful though as wikipedia is written by people who view the page. Texperts could well edit the pages on wikipedia.

Apparently there was recently journalists making errors by getting bad info from wikipedia.

If you have a recent degree, chances are you'll know the academics hate wikipedia and if they ever see it referenced will not be happy.

Not saying everything on wikipedia is wrong, just need to be careful

It was advice... if they're writing their answers with bad grammar, spelling, and with no punctuation, they don't stand a chance!

Very true. One case I know about involved reports by several journalists on the death of Ronnie Hazlehurst who was wrongly credited with writing the hit Reach for S-Club 7 - this even made it on the 6 O'Clock News on BBC1! :rotfl:All because someone had malicilously edited his page on Wikipedia to include this "credit".

Hey,

Took the Texperts quiz, and passed, filled in info etc and was wondering how long it is before they get back to you?

Cheers
