Comment summary: Wikipedia is a widely used platform known for providing extensive information on various topics. While praised for its depth and breadth of content, concerns about reliability, bias, and the open-editing model persist. Some users appreciate its role as a starting point for research, but others criticize its perceived bias and reliance on non-expert contributions. The balance of positive and negative opinions underscores Wikipedia's dual role as both a valuable resource and a subject of skepticism.

This is one of the best examples of what a community can do, with no money interest. Yes, the information itself can't be 100% trusted, but you can gather basic stuff by reading the page, or you can check the reference section for more reliable sources.

wikipedia admins are terrible. They don't want you to know the truth and will remove everything. I hope there will be an alternative for wikipedia.
