Do you believe in everything that can be found in Wikipedia. We all know that Wikipedia is a free, open content, community-built encyclopedia. And someone may be bias or give false information about a particular topic. What do you say?Just Curious, SFC

Yes, I believe in it. The facts that are written there have basis. The links that they provide below every information are their sources. And if the facts there don't have basis, wikipedia is kind to say that the information still needs citation. If the source providers have been biased, another source provider can check them. So there really is check and balance, right?

Wikipedia is a free open community encyclopedia... Since its a open community... in which any one can edit any information... there may be some inconsistency... But still I feel it has information about every thing in this world and is very accurate..

Well I would rate it fairly accurate but not 100% accurate at all. i think we should always do double checking what we get from there. But in many general ideas they are frilay accurate for me.

I don't know ... there might be a false info but I think most of the info posted there is true. And Wikipedia is really great source of information...an online encyclopedia.

Wikipedia - Can we trust the site?
I am careful when using this site. Some of it will sound believable but then other things will sound kinda far fetched so I always to a second check somewhere else.

I don't believe everything, as you never know for sure who wrote what or why. I would like to think that mostly good meaning people add things to that site.
