6. Well, duh. You have to take Wikipedia for what it is:

an open-source encyclopedia. Anybody who looks to it for the last word on a subject, or for unassailable fact, is looking in the wrong place.

It does, however, offer lots of information for someone who is willing to take it at face value and corroborate what they find. It's invaluable as a source of what people think about a subject; less so as a source of God's truth.

Frankly, looking for "truth" in an age when the government openly lies to you is a long, hard process;truth is not something you can find just by googling it.
