Reliability of Wikipedia

Personally, I believe Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information because anyone can manipulate entries to Wiki so this is suspect since companies/individuals can manipulate/switch their entries from the truth to nefarious to amusing and possibly downright dangerous depending on your view!

When a company/website prides itself on being "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit" - it is buyer beware and we have all been put on notice that no one is "really" checking the entries. So what's the fuss about? Use Wiki possibly for something other than authentic research!
