Not entirely. WikiPedia allows anyone to enter information, so some of it might be incorrect. It's a good place to start, but always do some more research and make sure the information is right.

Fairly Well. Although it can be edited by anyone, Wikipedia is governed by administrators and editors who all know the right thing to do, and are honest and reliable. Here at Wikipedia we try to make articles as accurate as possible with a neutral point of view, and settle disputes quickly to ensure the accuracy of our site. If someone vandalizes it or posts incorrect data, others may discuss it and make changes to ensure that the article quality remains absolutely accurate. There is a list of rules that all Wikipedians must follow or they risk getting their account suspended. So I would say that Wikipedia is probably the most reliable Encyclopedia on the web. But if you want absolute guarantee, go to the Library and pull out a printed version of the encyclopedia.

The governing of Wikipedia is terrible. Agree, go to reliable encyclopedia for information.

most people dont know that it is even monitored at all, and considering how bad it is monitored , you cannot blame them.

While Wikipedia is generally reliable it subject to occasional vandalism. If you want guaranteed accuracy, check out other sources.

Information on Wikipedea is normally much more reliable than WikiAnswers - but WikiAnswers strives to improve its quality.

Wikipedia is an incredibly useful and fairly accurate source of information.

While people say that Wikipedia cannot be trusted because articles can be edited, it is not so easy to change articles. Sources must be cited and all articles are patrolled 24/7 for signs of vandalism. If the article is thought to have inaccurate or misleading information it is flagged and there is a banner placed to warn the reader. Almost all articles on Wikipedia regarding major topics have highly accurate and comprehensive information edited and maintained by honest and knowledgeable people.

Wikipedia is constantly criticized but it is not the only place where false information can be presented. Anyone can create a website and post misleading and biased information. Wikipedia is not one of these because it is maintained by many honest volunteers and all articles must remain unbiased.

Wikipedia is a useful source for personal research, but when writing a bibliography or doing research for someone else it is never advised to cite Wikipedia as a source.

No

because many people can change an answer, but sometimes it happens to have the right one. To make sure that it is the right answer, go to a few websites with the same question and see if it has the same answer.

Yes

There are many people that contribute to WikiAnswers and are skilled in that topic.

It's kinda trustable because lots of people who know the right answers answer question. but sometimes people just put nonsense to mess with you.

There is no 'yes' or 'no' for this question, it depends on who answered the question. Is the answer sensible? Is it even near true? Does it answer your question? If it is then you could believe it. A good idea is to research the answer and put into a sentence and see if it is true, if so the answer is.

If it is about a particular thing/being that everyone knows about then it will be there (the answer). If it is about a extremely rare thing or something that lived way back or something, you may not be able to find info about it.

So remember: Check, Find, Trust.

Yes. Wikipedia is trustworthy. Because officials are constantly monitoring the site, editing any misinformation found.

I disagree. Bias is strongly left leaning online and through indoctrination in educational institutions. History has been altered to fit the narrative of activists who use the interest to push their agenda. The more people who are brainwashed, the more might think a certain way or believe a certain way if this is what they were taught ... and that does not mean what they were taught and convinced to believe is in actual fact true. Even “fact checkers” can’t be trusted because they too have their bias and will use their power to back their ideology “factual”, even if it is not. Best one can do is read and listen too all types of information constantly and then do yourself the best to come to a decision.
