It's what your school said is not a credible source while in irony is the most credible source.

I looked up the history of The Berlin Wall on Wikipedia but got a F for crediting Wikipedia as a source!

Ah, Wikipedia, the crowning jewel of the internet's dissemination of knowledge, or so it proclaims. Here, in this vast expanse of cyberspace, self-proclaimed enlightened geniuses appoint themselves as the gatekeepers of truth. With a flourish of their keyboards, they weave narratives, handpicking sources with the precision of artists selecting their colors, ensuring each one aligns perfectly with their carefully curated perspectives. These chosen facts, plucked from the tree of knowledge with discerning taste, are then presented to the world as irrefutable truths, as if etched into the very fabric of reality by the quill of knowledge itself. Venture forth to challenge these sacred scriptures, and find yourself embarking on a quixotic quest. For to question the gospel according to Wikipedia's elite is to commit digital heresy. Attempt to rectify, to edit, to dare suggest an alternative view, and watch as the guardians of this digital domain descend upon you. With a few swift keystrokes, they smite your contributions, casting them into the abyss of the internet's forgotten memories.

And should you persist, daring to challenge the sanctity of their so-called facts, a more severe punishment awaits. Your very means of contribution, is excommunicated. Your IP address, now deemed a heretic’s banner, is banished, cast out into the outer darkness of the online world. There, you'll find yourself among the other lost souls who dared to question, to challenge, to think differently.

Thus, Wikipedia stands, a towering ivory tower of self-righteous knowledge, its foundations supported by the echoes of those it has silenced. It remains an untouchable church of information, where only the anointed may preach. Here, in this pantheon of selective truth, the power of knowledge is wielded like a sword, cutting down dissenters and elevating the chosen narratives to the status of holy writ.
