Sometimes I do frankly speaking... probably one of those times doing assignment moments where I get all the info’s from Wikipedia. But knowing that Wikipedia is a free platform for anyone to write on, it gets a wee bit unreliable. Though they do have reference, citations and some reviewers maintaining its authenticity, anyone can get into it and alter the information within the site.
Well, you get the idea. Here's an example of how anyone can change an article in Wiki. Oh and ignore the vulgarism in it too.
I've witness arguments backing their points from Wiki. And know this, they didn't win. Simply because...well it's out of question how authentic Wiki is in any argument. I think a lot believed in Wiki for its authentic-like layout with articles and citations etc. It's possible for anyone to alter some infos even though it has citations and reference in it. I assume any scholar would know that Wiki is not legitimate enough to be part of an academic research.
So, answering the question, whether i take what is on the Internet, I'd answer yes. But that doesn't mean i totally ignore other sources other than what i read on the Internet.
Based on the comic, clearly the guy isn't capable of differentiating a hoax and truth. It depends really. If you're reading something out of a blog, you know it's an opinion based news. If you're reading from a notorious websites (I wouldn't say notorious, but i can't find the proper word), you're sure to know their contents are purely for humor and fun. But if it's sites like NatGeo, Discovery or other big names sites such as these, they are recognized and made their proper research and works.

LOL! I think that is the one who hate PlayStation write it. because anyone can write in Wikipedia right? Wikipedia manager should do something on certain issue like this.
Haha..it's probably some LaBeouf's haters. Well, there's numerous of articles saying "Wikipedia Fails". Personally, i think it's somewhat true and false. I'm not sure the nature of how the admins conduct the rules of publishing infos' in their site. I guess when you say something is free, it's open to everyone.
WIkipedia just a encyclopedia that other people can edit it. This is why, you must not to believe it 100% . To me, if you want search for something, just look it using google scholar. That thing will bring you to find "proper" article, then wikipedia, crap website.
