Does Wikipedia tell lies

Answer 1

Wikipedia is based on contributions from the public. Some sections are better controlled than others, but be sure to confirm information by checking the reference list and other sources. Writing "Wikipedia" as a reference when producing school papers or anything remotely scientific is generally not very well accepted.

Answer 2

Wikipedia does not have accurate information. I have seen errors in Wikipedia. I also find that now a days teenagers and young people believe what they read on the internet, and they doubt what older people tell them. I notice if you tell a young person that something occurred they will look it up on the internet and actually believe what they find on the internet to be true. There are many people who are allowed to go on websites and write whatever they want. They can fool you with false information. Older people were around before young people were even born we know what happened. So we know that the internet has false information in it.

Answer 3

Yes. Studies show that over 60% of the time, Wikipedia is actually false. But, some things are true. A little under 40% is true. But that is less than half. So, Wikipedia is actually mostly false. But some things are true. The thing is that someone could play around and paste things on the page that may be false. So that's the reason that Wikipedia is mostly false information. people like to play around with it.

Answer 4

Hi, Since Wikipedia is uploaded and updated by anybody, the information is not necessarily correct. However, this doesn't mean that it is always wrong. I suggest using Wikipedia to find the base information for your question, but then using another website additionally to check it. But, other websites can also be changed by the public, so be careful. I hope this helps you!!

Answer 5

Someone can go on and change the information at whim, thus logically proving that, no, Wikipedia is not trustworthy.

Answer 6

Wikipedia is pretty reliable but remember the information on there can be edited by almost anyone. Do not relay on it for 100% accurate information.

Answer 7

well coming from some people it might be wrong so you might have to look into what the person that told you the answer had said because they might just want to mess with you....
