It is hard for the general public to identify whether the information written on Wikipedia is neutral or not, especially for the knowledge related to engineering. They may not have the knowledge before and Wikipedia is the place where they try to look for explanation. Although there is a citation of the sources, it is hard for the public to judge whether the source is neutral or not. As everyone can edit the information on Wikipedia, the authors may add their opinions on the website at any time. It is hard to ensure everything on Wikipedia is neutral and true. If Wikipedia was written 100 years ago, it is hard for people to find the sources that can relate to and the information provided may be too old to match up with the things nowadays. In 100 years from now, Wikipedia may not be useful because the technology should be grown. There are more and more reliable websites appear for people to compare the source and information from Wikipedia. People may easily get a detailed and reliable resource about the things they search when compare today.
Engineers can judge the knowledge written on Wikipedia is neutral or not based on their knowledge learn from books, schools and industry. They can easily identify the information and sources by themselves.If Wikipedia and civil engineering topics were being written 100 years ago, it is hard for engineers to find the sources that are cited from since the information is too old. It is hard to check if the sources and information are reliable. In 100 years from now, Wikipedia may not be as relevant if they remain unchanged. Technology is growing fast. New technology may appear to search for more reliable information which is written by experts based on reliable sources. More websites with reliable sources of information may also appear to replace Wikipedia as well.
