Is WIKIPEDIA really reliable?

---

can WIKIPEDIA be recognize as ONE of a reference for research?

why not use wikipedias references instead?

[olmightysmiter]

well... If I can't trust WIKIPEDIA, how then can I trust its references... ?

[DrE]

What? Seriously?

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone. Its references are not. If truth is paramount to the project then you'll have to verify those with references from other media like books/tv/videos.

i think wikipedia is a reliable source... if i have questions about anything i always visit the site.. sakto man pud ila gihatag na answers..

[Ladyjane]

i dont think it is reliable... di man gani siya updated gyud..

[olmightysmiter]

To think guys, noh? A lot of people rely on the stuff they get from this site... I guess it's safe to say lang that we should carefully choose the information we get, from ANYWHERE I'm not saying sa WIKIPEDIA ra.

99% correct. i think editors there really verify & validate the info. sometimes naay dli klaro. the same ra gud na sa atong text books nga naa gihapon mistakes. i posted something there but wala gi dawat kay mura kuno ko ga promote ug product.

impress pud ko kay yesterday, few minutes after nba finals 2008, i searched for a boston player ni gawas dayon nga naay ring with celtics for 2008. pas2x pa sa sunstar.com. hehehe
