That's what I'm saying. It's a collection of data by the masses formed as accurate as possible. If someone edits something with some bogus info then it will surely be changed by someone in the know soon, or not accepted at all. Unless the particular page doesn't see many views, then it could take a while lol. I'm mostly talking about important historical information that is in it, not some entry about a celeb falling down or some shit.
Of course the general population can be convinced that some false information is accurate, and that will be inserted into Wikipedia. But the same can be said for all of the text books that teach our world what they know.
