To me wikipedia is not a useful search tool. I do not think you can trust any information on it. Anybody could go change the information to make it look good or make something look bad. If a company saw something that made them look bad, they could go in and change it to make them look good, but if somebody wanted to make a company look bad, they could go in and write something that was not true.
However, with Virgil Griffith developing the "Wiki Scanner" all that is libal to change. His scanner allows people to see the IP address to see where it was written from. Before the scanner someone could type something up and postt their name with what they said, or they could remain anonymous. It would put a stop to some of the things that were being said about big companys and important people.
