In World War II, however, it was virtually destroyed by the Red Army after a two-month siege ending in April 1945. |

Wikipedia has sometimes suffered from the self-editing that is intrinsic to it, giving rise at times to potentially libellous statements. However, inherently, I cannot see that what is in Wikipedia is any less likely to be true than what is published in a book or on the websites of news organisations. [Formula One's lawyer] did not express any concerns about the Wikipedia evidence [presented by the plaintiff]. I consider that the evidence from Wikipedia can be taken at face value." |

Up to 6 in 10 Wiki articles are incorrect. that says it all. Not even poorly written history books would be that low, although I see a few quoted by Stwa report to have written their book upon Wiki info.
Wiki issues are vast and well documented. For people to keep ignoring them is just ignorance on their behalf. Wiki is a good quick way to find out a brief on a topic but not for serious research. Harvard clearly warns against using Wiki - unreliable. Some read comics for their fix of history.........others actual history books and literature - that can be electronic as well but not Wiki. |
