Wikipedia is one of the most reliable sources of public information, most especially do to the international collaboration efforts on it.

You can't just dismiss a source on the basis that you don't like it. You need to provide actual evidence that the source is untrustworthy

    Yeah if you're looking up wood joints and math theorems. Not if you're trying to learn anything about politics or history that ties into the interests of the systems and institutions that filter the media allowed as valid citations.

    Do they ban the New York Times because they lied the country into every war it's been in since McKinley?
