Is WikiAnswers really telling the truth?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Since 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.
