Accuracy does vary depending on subject. With regards to politics and history you have people adding whatever nonsense comes to mind.

I'm not sure how accurate overall, though I'm sure alot more than most all others. I like it alot more than any other encyclopedia series, seeing as you can edit articles with substantiated proof and the edits won't be touched. Some WWII, Communist/Soviet articles in other encyclopedias (Funk and Wagnall, Groliers, britannica, etc.) make me want to rip out my own hair.

The great thing about Wikipedia is that it covers just about every topic imaginable.

Hey Mike The Jedi you know what alot of White Nationalists call Wikipedia ? They call it Jewkipedia. Thats not that absurd of an allegation. The head mod said a while back on the Holocaust discussion page that any revision, even truthful, wouldn't be allowed. Though this isn't really related to all jews, rather the profiteering hardcore "professional holocaust survivors" that have a large steak in lies and continuance of the lies, via judicial distortion. This is a dangerous endeavor in my opinion. Once people put two and two together by realizing that people are going to jail for something as trivial as questioning history, is proof to the fact that ANYONE could fall victim to this type extremism, not just people interested in historic revision. I don't think they realize what this type of an attack against the public -- which exactly what it is: attacking the publics right to listen what others have to say -- could essentially be a Pandora's box that could potentially be dangerous. Another telling fact is that it's acute to the holocaust, specifically Jewish holocaust. Go to wikipedia and look under the discussion and revisions of Articles like the "Holodomar genocide" for example. |

Nonsense. Wikipedia can never be a substitute for a real encyclopedia, or any other sources. It belongs to everybody and nobody at the same time; anyone with access to Internet can virtually change it how, where, and when they want it. I know a whole bunch of falsehoods written on Wikipedia, some I have corrected, only for the lies to re-appear very soon afterwards.
I strongly suspect the above article by MSNBC is a venomous response to this post of my (at least it is published within a very curious time frame):

How do you even know that?
I think they hate me, and the timing is curious indeed.
