Is wikipedia 100% reliable?

Wikipedia has become a very common resource of infomation for many internet users. It may be useful if anybody would like to get a kick start for the subject or infomation they are looking for.

However, the reliability of this platform is questionable. How can internet users be sure that the write up they are looking at from wikipedia is foolproof and how do they determine whether the infomation provided is correct or not? This actually pose a little trouble for younger kids as they may not have the ability to determine the autheticity of the infomations. Futhermore, anybody can contribute to wikipedia.
