Yeah, to me the issue isn't that people distrust Wikipedia, it's that they think it's less trustworthy than .gov or .edu. I forgot where I saw it, but I think I saw something teaching kids how to write, and they said that ".gov" and ".edu" sources are more credible.

The sad thing is--to the extent that you want to appear credible, that's probably correct, coz most people think that way.

But if you want to actually arrive at the truth, I don't automatically consider .gov or .edu more credible than anything else.
