Wikipedia

I never use Wikipedia but it has come up as a result of certain searches. My question is, how much of the info on Wikipedia is real and how much is crap? If anyone can add info, how can it be trusted to be factual?

I wouldn't use it for anything factual.....
I have seen a ton of mistakes on there 😳

Hey BD, That's what I thought. WP seems to come up on many searches for different topics. Not sure why it even exists if it isn't true facts. They should call it Wacky-pedia! 😮

What's "😳"?

Ben Franklin wrote the Declaration of Independence on a rock in Central Park.

On the King Kong wikipedia entry, it once read "King Kong was a real giant gorilla who played himself in several motion pictures."
I think their standards for entries and updates are much better now than they were in the early days. Most articles on major items are fairly factual.
