Original Note:
The claim that Wikipedia is accurate and reliable is incorrect. The site is not only edited by "amateurs" but also contributors who do not disclose they are paid to do so. Wikipedia has also been the source of many long-running hoaxes and misinformation. https://nypost.com/2021/07/16/wikipedia-co-founder-says-site-is-now-propaganda-for-left-leaning-establishment/ https://www.foxnews.com/media/wikipedia-co-founder-larry-sanger-says-online-dictionary-scrapped-neutrality-favors-lefty-politics https://thecritic.co.uk/the-left-wing-bias-of-wikipedia/ https://www.allsides.com/blog/wikipedia-biased http://internet.gawker.com/how-one-man-made-himself-into-an-aboriginal-god-with-wi-1692426415 https://blogs.cornell.edu/info2040/2021/11/04/wikipedia-an-unreliable-source/ https://wikipediocracy.com/2022/08/11/wikipedias-credibility-is-toast/ https://youtu.be/kiRgJYMw6YA
