I remember years ago when colleges banned the use of Wikipedia as a source. They’re as honest as Snopes.

AFAIK they still do.

“They”?

Wiki is basically user-modified. Not totally controlled like Snopes, written only by their biased owners.

If you don’t like it, put your viewpoint in on Wiki.

Of course the wiki entries aren’t always correct, but they do provide a nice starting point, and that usually includes other sources at the end of the article.
