Wikipedia is the most popular online encyclopedia, and millions of people rely on it every day to provide trustworthy information on a wide variety of topics. It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question.

These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.
