It's not about convincing. It's about discernment and common sense.

Want credible data about current events, political footballs like COVID or the J6 democrat insurrection, political candidates, sociology, etc.? Gotta look elsewhere.

But if I want to see a list of Stanley Cup Winners, wikipedia isn't lying about that list. No incentive, and too easy to disprove the lie.

Want historic Olympic medal counts or descriptions of all the sports involved? Wikipedia has them.

Want to find out when Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars were first manufactured? No reason to fake that data, unless you think there's a vast sneaker conspiracy lurking out there.

There's no hummingbird data disinformation campaign maliciously spreading false info about those little critters on wikipedia, either.

The list of topics is virtually infinite for which wikipedia is a readily available, perfectly reliable resource. No hunting needed, complete with citations.
