People who haven't interacted with Wikipedia before do not know how frustrating it can be. My experience with Wikipedia is that sometimes, misinformation is posted by mischief-makers and is not promptly removed by those policing the portal. Not for a long time too. And then there are times where, even after correcting misinformation, Wikipedia editors may revert it to the incorrect details and issue you a warning, as if they are the experts. Well, they are not. They may have the last say but Wikipedia is not the know-it-all portal; they are NOT the expert on information. Generally, for highly popular entries, the information tends to be reliable. However, for less popular entries, it's advisable to approach the content with a degree of skepticism.
