Isn’t the content of Wikipedia created by people who have a bent for doing so? And other people can overwrite each other.

I just use it as an amalgamated source of information. And I don’t rely on it as a primary source.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

In theory, yes. In practice, it’s controlled in a way that certain people are in charge and can block a person from making changes if it doesn’t fit their narrative. As mentioned some are even blocked from updating their own page.
