Some people thinks wikipedia is not trustful. Wikipedia is not trustful because 'anyone' can edit. Since anyone who know how to use computer and internet, when people who put their personal feelings or biased opinions in article, its realibility is low. For example an article about Windows 8's editing page has been blocked temporaly because of people who against windows8's program review(rude?).
This is the news about windows8 in wikipeida.

On the other hand, when people see the biased articles, the wikis are trying to fix them correctly. This is Wikipedia's strong point. The point that can fix right away when they found something wrong.
As a result, wikipedia is between trustful zone and untrustful zone which depends on people who write article about.
I think it's our responsibility to make Wikipedia trustworthy by putting accurate information, reliable sources, and trying to correct it if something is wrong.
