If the Wikipedia topic is even slightly political, the "information" on the page is probably garbage.

Wikipedia is great for sports stuff, music stuff and lists of coal plants.

Italics calls for two sets of apostrophes:
...while ‘’dove’’ is an ultimately [[Proto-Germanic language|Germanic]]
-
Those are brackets NOT apostrophes...

Thanks for the detailed discussion on Wikipedia editing, regardless of my cynical views of the nature of the website! :)

Clueless to the fact that wikipedia has gone full leftist and locks down pages so people can’t fix their leftist propaganda about conservatives.

I remember when Wikipedia was new and a college prof. here defended it’s use by his students to me when I called it out that anyone could edit it to rewrite history or facts, so it couldn’t be used as a credible source. Some people just like to argue and would be happier on DU.
