Even on Lemmy people think Wikipedia isn't shit.
It can't be trusted.
It wildly depends on the articles/topic, but yes, it's generally not trustworthy. Especially anything politics or corporate, but sometimes articles on objective topics can have issues.
Said someone who's never tried to edit an article. They watch that shit like a hawk and require sources for everything, if not they'll revert your changes.
I tried to edit an article that contained blatant falsehood, my change instantly got reverted, I got banned, and a group of editors tried to dox me. You're right that they watch it like a hawk, but only to make sure nobody corrects their bullshit.
That's garbage.
There have been plenty instances where articles were manipulated.
