I use neither googggblech nor Wikipedia. It has been demonstrated years ago, that wiki can and has been tampered, tailored, tweeked, and re-written to suit the tweaker.

I remember YouTube before Google bought it. It was a much freer place.
I remember Ebay before Google made a mess of it.
I remember the early 90’s first generation Internet/darpanet, before Google arose.

I will rejoice the day some unseen calamity befalls the grounds and structures of Google, and no federal monies to follow.

One reknowned tweeker was O. J. Simpson, who would “set the record right” every day!

I use DuckDuckGo for browsing but still use Wikipedia, but for nothing serious.

Wikipedia is useful for non-serious stuff, like rock band discographies, trivia about movies and statistics like how you used to find in the "World Book of Facts" - that used to be sort of a bible for geeks like me growing up in the pre-Internet 1970s.

But would never trust them for anything serious.
