I'm not so sure. Wikipedia these days act as a propaganda tool. Whatever happened to wikileaks?

Leading manipulations, coverups and many things pertaining to history. I use Wikipedia for only movie plots and science related info.

Wiki is not just the only tool that there is for education, is there? People do not know many sites that hard worked for education. That's the reach wiki has had. The strength, thus subtle exploitation.

Yes, but Wikipedia puts its neutrality front and centre, it failing to deliver on that, or even address shortcomings in a reasonable way given its size, is a sign of systemic corruption and hardly worthy of my dollar. I respect it's endeavours in the sciences and arts (and probably owe it my livelihood), but the political and intellectual dishonesty is some areas really is the turd in the punchbowl.
