WikiAnswers are people who answer questions that are posed on this site, and some questions could be answered wrong, however, there are enough people who check these sites for accuracy, so if a question is answered wrongly, it will be corrected in due time, or will stay until someone who is knowledgeable will answer it correctly.

∙ 6y agoSince Wikipedia is in reality a vast and constantly changing document, the answer is that it most likely will be, but not necessarily.
The information contained in Wikipedia, like all information, depends on the knowledge or the ability of the person giving the information. Where they don't have specific knowledge of a particular subject, they rely on the accuracy of their sources of information, which may be limited or, in questions of opinion, may give a somewhat biased view, (as everyone tends to do) based on the conclusions they have reached from their own viewpoint and/or study.
Another problem with Wikipedia is that it is 'consensus driven' in that the policy regarding answers relating to opinion requires a consensus view to be put. This may be the correct view, or as we all know, 'the majority is not always right.' The majority once thought the earth was the center of the universe. Thus we end up with pooled ignorance.
On matters of opinion, such as religious or moral questions, there must be due recognition that any answer will inevitably reflect either the bias of the writer of the article, or the current consensus view, or what the author or authors think is the current consensus view. Any or all of these could be wrong, either in whole or in part, but will naturally be well-presented as fact and with supporting argumentation (which may or may not be spurious, if one does not have the knowledge to critique it).
In other words, as with anything, learn to check your facts, no matter how well argued.

If you go out with a boy and he says he never really liked you in front of the whole class is he telling the truth?
It would probably depend on the circumstances of him telling the class, there is a chance he was telling the truth if he went out with you just to pull a stunt like this but there is also a chance he was somehow pressured into saying it.
How can you be honest and never lie?
Well. "Lying" and "not telling the truth" are not always the same thing. "Lying is where you tell a person something with the purpose to deceive them. You can lie and still tell the truth. Here's an example. Obviously, if I told you the box was red and it really was red and I knew it was red, then I would be telling you the truth and not lying. If I told you the box was blue but it was really red but I thought it was blue, then I would be telling you the truth but I would not be lying. Now if I told the box was blue but it was really red and I knew it was red, then I would be both lying and not telling you the truth. And if I told you the box was blue but it was really red but I thought it was blue, then I would be lying but I would be telling you the truth. To answer your question, lying and being honest are the same things.
Is it true that no one has actually said the truth on Wikianswers and has only answered by what they think is true?
