    I am really worried about Wikipedia going away. They keep posting help messages asking for donations. This site has helped me so much in so many of my high-school and college assignments and everyday life and there is a ton more I would like to explore. I really need it. Will they just start posting adds if they cannot support it with donations? I think there is something very important about not having adds everywhere stealing the dignity and sacridity of a subject. Please donate to Wikipedia if you have not!!!

  • Basically, for school, we have to do some research on Asteroids, Meteorites, etc, and they have explained to us that we cannot use Wikipedia as it is apparently an "Unreliable source on information". Is this true?

  • Best answer: You can do it, but it will probably get reverted under 5 minutes. But if you really want to prank him, type "javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true'; document.designMode='on'; void 0" which will make you edit the page but only visible on your laptop.

    type "javascript:document.body.contentEditabl... document.designMode='on'; void 0" which will make you edit the page but only visible on your laptop.
    Type in "javascript: document.body.contentEditable = 'false'; document.designMode = 'off'; void 1" when you are done

    Remember to check if javascript: is there at the front. This only works in Google Chrome.

  • Best answer: Nope. It is an open web site that anyone in the world can edit. So if somehow they managed to get everything on it that is truthful, 10 seconds later someone could alter it with a lie. You always have to take the things on wikipedia with a grain of salt.

    Now, because it is an open site that anyone can edit, if someone post nonsense, it is usually corrected rather quickly. But it is also impossible to keep the correct information there.

    Plus not all the information on the articles are "facts". Many of them are by their nature opinions or guess, Such as an article on religion is going to be a guess. Any article on science is usually only going to present one (or the most popular) theories on a subject. There is legitimate debate about historical events, etc. So in many cases "the truth" is impossible to know.

    Wikipedia is not considered to be a reliable source for information. Since anyone can edit it, there is no control over the content.

  • An admin banned my IP when I commented that a picture he posted belonged to something else. I need a new way to access it so I can notify other admins about the problem.

    Best answer: No. This is a user with a grudge. They identify themselves in their comment with Wikipedia user "Jasons1999Contour", who was blocked for abusing multiple accounts, and their comment includes a number of strange, paranoid ideas like that a number of Wikipedia administrators are all the same person, who somehow can see them through a webcam even if "the device is off".

    This appears to be nothing more than a strange rant. Wikipedia is generally relatively safe, though the usual cautions for anything online and public apply as normal.

  • Wikipedia is a lot more trustworthy than people think. A large percentage of the information on it is very accurate, and it is regulated constantly. So why do people think Wikipedia is a laughable source and a scam, trying to misinform people?
