Wikipedia can be trusted and can be not be trusted it has ups and downs. But, for the most part I believe I can be trusted. That's why i think Virgil Griffith creation Wikipedia Scan was an great creation since you can find the fraud through the IP address. But for the most part I don't believe the Wikipedia should just be cut off, because it is still a good reliable source.
Now since Griffth have prove that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and things can be deleted at anytime without the use of being fact-checked of no kind. Being that Griffith was trying to prove the point of big organizations or companies make false advertisement or going back to reword things, so this Wikipedia scanner came about from him and he made it easier way for we are able to tell false information because its like an backspace that goes back to the last computer who did the edit.
I agree with you. Just keep your eyes open and your brain on when you use Wikipedia.
