Then I read them and use my critical thinking skills. For research I put trust in peer review articles by reputable journals.

Isn’t that a broader question as to what we consider truth and not something specific to wikipedia ?

How are you able to determine matters of fact by pure critical thinking? Are you really claiming that you are immune to lies?
Great! I wish Wikipedia was held to that standard, rather than regularly using tabloids, think tanks, and literal propaganda outlets.

I’m genuinely curious, what are your standards for truth? What are your standards for facts?
Does Wikipedia use tabloids, think tanks, and literal propaganda outlets?
Is there anything that’s not factual in Wikipedia that survives their current editing process?

Well none of us are immune to lies, but how is that a problem specific to wikipedia? Isn’t that a much larger issue regarding humanity and our media ecosystem?
If you click on either of those wikipedia pages I sent to you, what citations do you believe are lies or used incorrectly ?
