Wikipedia jest "cyfrową" krynicą wiedzy. Sam z niej niejednokrotne korzystam. Okazuje się jednak, iż także w przypadku jej zasobów należy być bardzo ostrożnym. Nie chodzi nawet ( chociaż też) o zwykłe błędy i wygłupy. Poważniejszy problem to stosunkowo wąskie grono redagujących Wikipedię ( podatne na presji, oddziaływania, naciski i przekupstwa) oraz sute "subsydia/darowizny" jakie Wikipedia otrzymuje od określonych korporacji i fundacji, co może być przecież nawet nie tak bardzo zawoalowaną formą lobbingu.
W manipulowaniu informacją i dezinformowaniu bardzo aktywni są także wszelkiej maści hasbarowcy, którzy wykorzystują Wiki jako doskonałe medium do wybielania izraelskiego rządu oraz historii Żydów.
Podfsumowując, korzystając z Wiki - miej się na baczności i ex definitione nie pokładaj w niej ślepego zaufania.

"Also in 2007, researchers found that one of the most active and influential English Wikipedia administrators, called “Slim Virgin”, was in fact a former British intelligence informer.
More recently, another highly prolific Wikipedia editor going by the false name of “Philip Cross” turned out to be linked to UK intelligence as well as several mainstream media journalists.In Germany, one of the most aggressive Wikipedia editors was exposed, after a two-year legal battle, as a political operative formerly serving in the Israeli army as a foreign volunteer.Even in Switzerland, unidentified government employees were caught whitewashing Wikipedia entries about the Swiss secret service just prior to a public referendum about the agency.Many of these Wikipedia personae are editing articles almost all day and every day, indicating that they are either highly dedicated individuals, or in fact, operated by a group of people.In addition, articles edited by these personae cannot easily be revised, since the above-mentioned administrators can always revert changes or simply block disagreeing users altogether.The primary goal of these covert campaigns appears to be pushing Western and Israeli government positions while destroying the reputation of independent journalists and politicians.Articles most affected by this kind of manipulation include political, geopolitical and certain historical topics as well as biographies of non-conformist academics, journalists, and politicians.Perhaps unsurprisingly, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, a friend of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and a “Young Leader” of the Davos forum, has repeatedly defended these operations.Speaking of Davos, Wikimedia has itself amassed a fortune of more than $160 million, donated in large part not by lazy students, but by major US corporations and influential foundations."
