No one should use WIkipedia (or any other wiki) for actual research. Many schools do not allow it as a resource for information (including most colleges and universities in the US).

It is because it is editable by users - that is what a wiki is. This has been known since it started, and it hasn't been considered a credible source since it started (as in, if you get all your information from wikipedia, you risk having mis-information that someone else posted).

Assalam alaykum brothers and sisters.

Wikipedia should not be a credible source to rely on. I could change any article there by clicking on "edit" then "save" , I recently found a bad article about my city, I have deleted the whole of it and put a new one.
