It's tragic, but unsurprising, that Wikipedia was quickly recognized for propaganda value.
I still feel conflicted as I use to regularly donate. I still want to.
However, per your comment, I'd say that the likelihood that something in Wikipedia is accurate is inversely proportional to the subject's currency or socio-political propaganda value.
The real mischief is in subjects where a narrative needs to be projected and protected.
I've read that the editorial process in Wikipedia is highly balkanized and rife with in-fighting.
What is also amazing is that the CIA's "World Fact Book" appears to be a tremendously under-recognized resource, particularly in the U.S.:
I think it's more than anecdotal to note that, if that site were filled with mis-dis-mal-information (or whatever), we'd hear about it. Given that it's never brought up leads me to suspect it's accurate!
No. Do not pay attention to either pop culture or Wikipedia. I expect either or both to change the definition of definition shortly.
wikipedia is a propaganda toilet that flushes backwards.
Wikipedia is not a good reference for anything

Thank you for the link!
One of the reasons IтАЩm really turned off by wokipedia is that IтАЩve found shit that know is untrue
Someone I loveтАЩs copyrighted, very recognizable work, has been claimed by others and Woki makes it very difficult to correct.
ItтАЩs either accurate or pure Pravda
