Wikipedia Noah

Is Wikipedia a trusted source? I would say yes that Wikipedia is a trusted source. Some people say no because anybody can change the information on the site or topic. But they don't realize that Wikipedia has thousands of volunteers that search through and find false information and change it back to what is suppose to be there. Also if you are reading a Wikipedia article and it has a whole bunch of weird stuff in it, most people would realize that it's probably isn't true, ignore it, and read on. Wikipedia is also a good source for news. When news goes viral Wikipedia soon has it on the Webb because there are millions of people editing or adding articles. When something is posted it is viewed with 2 roles. Verified ability which means it is true and able to stay on Wikipedia. The second one is that all information is fairly used and edited. The word wiki means hit edit and change as pleased. That doesn't mean it stays changed. The Britannica encyclopedia only had 39 more fact mistakes which proves Wikipedia is definitely a trusted source.
