I think academics are too critical for a source of general surface level knowledge. But it’s no substitute for primary sources

I don’t think the problem is anyone can jump on and edit Wikipedia, they have process, but it’s the processes, informal institution’s, where the issues I’m referring arise. The average person hears there a process and assume this means it’s legitimate and flawless and are over confident in its quality.

It’s a great resource but I tin it’s helpful to be realistic about its limitations.
