Right and wrong
Yes, anyone can post things. No, a lot of them don't last very long if they're not right. We do not claim that Wikipedia is 100% correct 100% of the time. No encyclopaedia is - even the Britannica can get things wrong. But we have active patrollers and admins checking stuff as it comes online. If you want an example of things on the internet that aren't true, show them The Onion or Uncyclopaedia. And tell your students that books aren't always perfect either. Whatever information is first found should be checked (this is why we insist on reliable independent sources WP:RS), and then checked again. Peridon (talk) 16:01, 3 February 2013 (UTC)
