I would argue otherwise.
Wikipedia is incomprehensibly large. Perhaps the largest database of vetted human knowledge ever.
I know for a fact you can find inaccuracies and biased information if you look for it. But it's rare relative to the amount of information that exists there.
Trust but verify my dude.
What you're saying is that you don't trust anything because everything has a bias associated to it.
Healthier than trusting nothing or no one
I've yet to see a wiki article without a shit ton of sources listed clearly at the bottom.
What do you think the "verify" part of "Trust but verify" means? Lol
Not a primary source. Also, every Wikipedia page posts the primary sources at the bottom. Wikipedia is just a compendium, it's not a peer reviewed journal. Use some brain matter before it rots my dude.
It’s not considered a primary source. Nobody said it is. But it’s a good starting point for further research in most topics.
This would be seriously useful, what are the impeccable primary sources?
