It is certainly fair to say that we should not expect Wikipedia to be the final arbiter of truth /John Thornhill, FT, Opinion 18 March 2022/. It has indeed its flaws, biases and blind spots meaning that it is not 100% reliable.
Nevertheless, it should be because it belongs to the group of public goods.
It is most likely one of the “last best places” on the Internet, however, as Taha Yasseri also says: “It is a very good place to start your research but a terrible place to end your research”.
Period.
It has frequently been used by trolls and many more biased players. It can be really very hard to remove even blatant errors in reports from allegedly reliable sources. When it comes to human beings /they might even be politicians, bankers, central bankers/ these imperfections tend to be really embarrassing and misleading.
Concerning personalities, both living and who passed away, we or our families should be given the chance to correct the artificially flawed character of our personalities pictured in Wikipedia, including the removal of all the pieces proved to be evidently wrong.
