When people say that anyone can edit it, while that might be true for some pages, usually if you vandalize a page you get banned and a bot fixes the page.
It's also known to be as accurate as Encyclopedia Britannica.

I think it's stupid how teachers always think wikipedia is so bad.
Other wikias are usually bad but the official wikipedia is actively protected

If it sounds complicated, like someone took time to do it. Its defiantly true.

Well yeah wikipedia is really accurate, just usually not on specific information. This is the only thing I see that is wrong on wikipedia, specific times dates, unimportant names, small specific details they get wrong all the time.

| I use Wikipedia all the time. Teacher's hate it, but I find it must less sketchy than say ################ which won't even link it's sources. (The website name has been changed to protect the innocent) -Mata Nui |
