The Wikipedia Experiment: Falsification and Knowledge Decay

How trustworthy is the information in Wikipedia (WP)? This question is important for all WP users. Since March 13, 2007, this experiment conducts a long-range test to help answer this question.Ensuing discussion, when the conditions are right, should converge the result to a much better version, even better than the original editor could have done under best efforts. "Misteakes are a catalyst for the power of collaboration."As an important side benefit, this should provide a concrete editing benefit to WP and online content in general, including avoidance and handling of "fake news."
