My teachers back then told us not to use it as a source. They were right!

Nothing is perfect after all.

It's alright for hard-science or other purely fact-based info - but useless in anything involving any manner of "interpretation" or " political analysis".

What Wikipedia (and most other ACF sources) represent as a "rational dialectic" is invariably a Marxist or Sophistic dialectic charading as a Rational dialectic. 

Wikipedia describes Fox News as a "conservative" organization, yet makes no reference to any blatantly leftist similar network as "leftist", "liberal" or "ultra-liberal". So according to Wikipedia, there ARE no liberal, ultra-liberal or leftist news organizations in the United States. heh 

That's one reason why I have never donated to them, and never will - until the ACF manager(s) die and/or are replaced by normal people.

Wikipedia is a great starting point, but not really something you can use as a source.

For everything else non-politically related, it's fine. But Wikipedia plays hardball on politics.

Wikipedia is politically aligned with ACFs. YMMV

Haven't seen straight-up alterations of history much - but still a high volume of leftist opinions presented as either some bogus "consensus" or even as facts ('Cratsplaining) inserted here and there, over and over again. Subtle but biased heavily. 

Cue: DJT:(with calm frankness, shaking head ruefully) Wikipedia is VERY DISHONEST in many things!! In the way it portrays conservatives and Republicans, especially!! Shameful!!
