as people can change any info they find. Is this true?
Not sure what the question would go under.

Some of the source actually is ture just some of them are give the answers as opinion.However the information are posted is been discuss and discuss to improve the knowledge.Meanwhile some time human also will make some error too so any website also have the error too.So the best way is compare to each other.

It was tested by some university to be 94% accurate. Whereas an encyclopedia was around 95-96% accurate. You have to have some faith in what you read! Multiple sources are always better. But you know for a 1000 years it was said by all sources that the sun was in the center of the universe. They were all wrong! Wikipedia would have been too if it existed.

It can be quite useful and different articles are different. For example something very scientific is likely to be quite reliable, but pages on bands are often edited by people who are obsessed with/hate the band so they are biased.
It's good for general info, but if it's for a proper research project there are much more reliable websites and also good ol' books.

This is true, and it is the reason many colleges do not allow this site to be used as a source for papers.

What is correct is a matter of opinion. There is no ultimate truth so therefore no source can ultimately be said to be false or inaccurate.

Sure anyone can edit it,
just take what you read with a grain of salt.

I think it's usually very accurate. they find mistakes, though. as with everything you read on the 'net, take it with a grain of salt.

Well let's put it this way...you shouldn't use it as your primary source.
