Well none of us are immune to lies, but how is that a problem specific to wikipedia? Isn’t that a much larger issue regarding humanity and our media ecosystem?
If you click on either of those wikipedia pages I sent to you, what citations do you believe are lies or used incorrectly ?
Post truther is when you don’t believe that people have the magic ability to determine if something is true by pure gut feeling.
All the liberal-fascists here whine about misinformation and post-truth, and then through a fucking fit that anyone suggest that they actually be serious about that.
You people don’t want to combat misinformation, you want the misinformation you already believe to go unquestioned.
And how will that allow you to know if they’re right or not?
Then I read them and use my critical thinking skills. For research I put trust in peer review articles by reputable journals.
But regardless,
Isn’t that a broader question as to what we consider truth and not something specific to wikipedia ?
How are you able to determine matters of fact by pure critical thinking? Are you really claiming that you are immune to lies?
Great! I wish Wikipedia was held to that standard, rather than regularly using tabloids, think tanks, and literal propaganda outlets.

Does Wikipedia use tabloids, think tanks, and literal propaganda outlets?
Is there anything that’s not factual in Wikipedia that survives their current editing process?
Post-truther detected.
