Best Answer

Wikipedia is user edited. Therefore anyone can put anything on there. For example: in 4th grade someone asked my teacher where spaghetti came from, and (joking, of course) he told them that it grew on trees. He then proceeded to make a wikipedia article about how spaghetti grows on trees. However, there is still lots of correct information, and lots of credible sources.
