  • This is why I find Wikipedia problematic. Anyone can change an entry

    No they can’t. Many articles are locked, there’s degrees of locking. Also, there’s a hierarchy where the community, specific notice boards, administrators, or just an uninvolved editor can be brought in to help adjudicate an editorial dispute.

    …and all this is not to mention the many policies that guide editors to keep Wikipedia journalistic.

    It’s set up to resist a loss of integrity. Case in point, this article. Do you think moderators and admins left the Iranian editors changes in place. No, they were discovered for a reason - probably by the wider community using Wikipedia’s policies, guidelines, and means of resolution.
