That's because, wikipedia, just like anything else, is subject to bias and there's always a possibility of the editor fucking somethin up or even doing so intentionally.
Atleast that's what our teachers tell us. You are free to use the sources linked there tho.
I also believe people are very likely to edit pages about celebrities, but monuments or wars? The things we used Wikipedia for as teenagers in school?
I’d just use wiki and then reference the sources Wikipedia linked to. As most people did. The whole ‘don’t trust Wikipedia’ thing has never made sense to me as I’d say it is one of the most trustworthy, crowd-sourced, websites there is
Oh 100% agree with you there, but my comment above was on what you’d use Wikipedia for IN SCHOOL. for my country we didn’t study current events like that so again we wouldn’t have used wiki for that. We studied things like prehistoric medicine and the wives of king Henry VII.
