Editing Wikipedia (section)

==Why It's a Trustworthy Encyclopedia==
#It is very informative, especially with historical people and events such as the 9/11 attacks, World War II, Summer of Love, George Washington, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Netanyahu, and several others. In addition, there are pages for almost everything that fits within their notability guidelines, including the Devious Lick trend and the "My Immortal" fan-fiction.
#*Even if some of their other pages aren't as detailed, they are very likely to be improved later due to the large userbase, or even by yourself if you are interested.
#*The featured and good articles, which showcase the best articles on the wiki, are incredibly informative and have tons of references to back up their claims and make the wiki extremely reliable in some cases. They are also a great way of showing how you should write or edit an article on the site in the first place.
#It is very unbiased, decently written and can be useful for research purposes.
#Anyone with or without an account can edit, leading to a lot of edits on the wiki and most are very constructive and helpful.
#* You don't even need an account to start editing, and you can make edits anonymously, although it will reveal your IP address. Creating an account does have benefits, as it allows you to edit protected pages after a while and you have a chance to become part of the staff, as well as gaining recognition if you edit well enough.
#A lot of pictures for almost everything, including images of real-world locations, film posters, video game box art, and photos. You can even find some pretty rare images on the site as well. Finally, some of the images themselves are also high quality, especially ones showcasing real-world locations.
#There are a lot of admins and users on the wiki, so there is a lower chance of Wikipedia's vandalism getting noticed. This also means that pages will often be updated very quickly with new information. This also means that there are a lot of people on the site to help you out if needed, as the userbase overall is very friendly. There are also editors that improves certain types of articles on the website, such as Jochem van Hees (who edits mainly Eurovision articles), AS19Portsmouth (who edits mainly F1/motorsport articles), and finally, '''Lugnuts''', who is widely considered to be among the greatest editors in Wikipedia's history.
# Wikipedia also has some essays about how to edit the wiki and what is best for a user to do on them. Not only are the essays funny sometimes, but they are also incredibly helpful, are good for learning how to become a productive editor, and are even so useful that other wikis use them to improve.
#*In fact, there's an entire essay dedicated to funny stuff that's on the wiki, called Wikipedia:Silly Things.
#It has a really nice style, and is incredibly easy to navigate, with all of the sub-pages such as "Recent Changes" and "Special Pages", as well as the search bar being placed logically and are relatively easy to find in all versions.
#Their notability guidelines are fair, unlike other websites, as it must be a well-known place, media, or person with some historical significance to be able to be put on the site, and you just can't add something not many people know about.
#Much like Super Mario Wiki and Encyclopedia SpongeBobia, it has deletion requests and requests for gaining admin rights.
#There is a Simple English Wikipedia, which is meant to be used for basic English and condenses the information on the main Wikipedia pages into some easy-to-understand sentences.
#It is multilingual, meaning pretty much anyone in the world can edit it, even non-English speakers; it also has multiple versions of the site for each language, with English Wikipedia being the most common.
#It revolutionized wikis as a whole and is the responsible for making them popular.
#*It also inspired the creation of sites that allow you to create your own wiki, such as Fandom (known initially as Wikia and also co-founded by Wales), [[ShoutWiki]], [[Miraheze]], Wikidot, edit this. Info, and Telepedia.
