Wikipedia is good as long as it’s readers remain skeptical.

At least contributors to Wikipedia can provide links to verify what is being purported. But to lock down the page for edits is just unbelievably fascist.

Wikipedia serves an important public function.

The masses need to be told what they must think—and since the elites order such changes daily, even hourly, sometimes by the minute, it is critical to have a place to go to make sure you don’t say the wrong thing by accident and get fired from your job or banned from your cocktail party.

:-(

“Wikipedia is good as long as it’s readers remain skeptical.”

I agree.

Wikipedia doesn’t just put user-supplied edits in without inspecting them beforehand, correct?

No. It actually is not good.

And that is why any teacher worth their salt will give you a Zero for using it as the source in any paper.
