This page shows all the ways in which Wikipedia tries to include only factual information. Factoids that are questionable are relegated to the talk page before they are allowed to be included in the main article. Wikipedia requires sources, which means that it can be as accurate as an academic paper. Often, Wiki articles are written by experts in the field, and to those who find a subject important, falsified information will be policed.
