Wikipedia

I don't think that Wikipedia can ever be fully trusted. As long as the sight is not regulated and verified any type of change can be made. Yes, I know that you can tract the changes but, most people don't take the time to do so. This allows for misinformation to be broadcast as fact and spread all over the internet. As someone who loves history I have learned that not all that is written is fact and in fact it is often tainted with personal opinions and ideas. I have always read several sources if I was interested in something in particular. I also won't read what the historians have written without comparing personal biographical accounts of what happened as well.

Most people that I know that just want quick information will use Wikipedia without any concern as to the authenticity of the content. They are just looking for a quick answer and they don't care if it is truthful or not. An example is celebrity tabloids , many are not accurate but people are just curious and want some information even if it is wrong.
