Proprietary or Open Source ?

Hi everyone,

After reading a few information about the differences between proprietary and open source, I prefer proprietary more than open source.

The reason is, first, about the accuracy of the information. In wikipedia, there are many authorlized people can add, rewrite or delete those information. However, we cant know that those authorlized people well-educated or not. They may be a scholor, but also can be just a teenagers. On the other hand, we also dont know the information they added is a source from research or just a gossip they have heard about. Therefore, if the accuracy of the information is not sure, then the quality of those information should be affected.

About the proprietary, in my opinion, the quality of the information is more important than any other things when we are doing our research or finding sources. That's why I prefer proprietary more. Proprietary is wrote by the authorlized writer which is chose by the publisher of that proprietary. They should be a scholor or a master of that category. This kind of source is more trustworthy than open source. Although proprietary need cost or other authorlize, I think the quality of the source is the most important things when we are doing our research.
