With so much fake news floating around these days, it's difficult to know just who and what to believe. While Wikipedia is usually a reliable source of factual information, from time to time people hack Wiki and slip some alternative facts in there too. And since it's a free encyclopedia, created entirely by collaborators, it turns out that some of them have quite a knack for humor. From Charlie Sheen being half man, half cocaine to American Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky being a humanoid evolution spawned in the bowels of Poseidon, you never can be too sure if what you're reading is 100% truth. So common sense comes in handy if you are preparing a paper according to Wikipedia's facts.
Luckily, these changes don't stay for long and are spotted by moderators before they even see the light of day. To illustrate how crazy some of these hijackings (or at least attempts) have been, Bored Panda has collected this list of funny Wikipedia edits caught on screenshots.

The Battle of Heraklion could have been part of the Battle of Crete, fought during World War II on the Greek island of Crete between 20 and 30 May 1941. British, Australian, New Zealand and Greek forces of 14th Infantry Brigade, who could have been commanded by Brigadier Brian Chappel, could have defended Heraklion port and airfield against a German paratrooper attack by the 1st Parachute Regiment of the 7th Air Division, who could have been commanded by Colonel Bruno Bräuer.

This isn't actually a run-on sentence though. It is very cleverly structured using the correct punctuation. The humour actually comes from this irony 😉

The page is a run-on sentence itself, making it self-demonstrating (pages that look like what they are about). Self-demonstrating articles are for TV Tropes (http://www.tvtropes.org) not Wikipedia!

Whoever wrote this fails to realize that a 'time keeper' is the most important person in any band. Without a drummer, its like a gang of musicians just doing their own thing.

For context they were known for having a lot of band members and a constantly changing lineup consisting mostly of people who were unidentifiable and often contributed literally nothing beyond "being in So Solid Crew". Someone's just added a bunch of fictional characters, silly names, and a few actual people who weren't in the band but for various reasons are amusing to imagine them as members.

Whiel some of these are quite funny, I think it should be stressed that they do not speak for the quality of Wikipedia in general. Wikipedia, by its nature as an encyclopedia is a secondary source, not to compete with primary sources, particularly not with those of scientific nature. Due to the collaborative effort it may well compete with journalistic sources, particularly if you are skeptical about what you read! I think it does a very good job in providing easy-to-understand background if you do not want to go the full way to read the primary sources, and it can be used to scrutinize media.

Just don;t forget, that before the change is approved it goes through moderators. And it's not like anyone can write on wikli - you have to register, write a lot and meet several requirments to be approved for freelance content changes. Most of those are showing edits visible only to the person editing the website - they see it, but it doesn't go further.

You should never include Wikipedia as source material, because an encyclopedia is not a source. You can find proper sources in the "References" section below a Wikipedia article. As for the reliability, it's been proven that Wikipedia has about the same rate of error as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
