What is the reliability of Wikipeida?
Al-though a large number of Wikipeida source citations are
verified and reliable.
But There are a large number of citation need to
verify and required to edit. Most of research scholars think Wikipedia is not
scholarly reliable source for the researchers? However a large number of
scholar reliable source if reference is
verifiable from original source. In each article only 5 to 10% source need
verification however, other 85 to 90% source are verifiable. In our opinion its
totally depend upon the article citation source.
