ToastedRabbits picked Yes.:
I know mine do. It doesn't matter who you are, everyone can add information to Wikipedia - which makes the information unofficial and subject to false information. Though Wikipedia does have loads of true information, I think teachers are right when they tell students they can't sue it as a credible source. It certainly won't fly in college.

Wikipedia isn't always accurate but if someone makes changes someone will moderate that and change it to make it true.

Indeed, Dada. Also, most of the topics we would research - Science, English, etc., no one bothers mess with. People like to mess with politics and celebrities.

Anyone can put something on Wikipedia, so it might not be true. I don't use it often, but if I'm in a rush I'll use it.
