Anyone can edit Wikipedia pages. However, there are some Wikipedia pages that are protected and have many reliable links (mostly science-based entries).

But entries such as Ebonyi are unprotected and this is so to improve the content. For instance, someone has included Samuel Eto as one of the notable people from Ebonyi. Someone else can remove his name.

But entry such as Ebola which have links to many peer-reviewed articles and books by seasoned scientists and researchers are always protected by the Wiki admins.

He is saying the truth

Day2logic:
He is saying the truth

I'm also saying the truth that it means nothing on Wikipedia is true if so...so what's the issue now?

Or did he research and the op wasn't correct?

Why not try to check if you can edit it, we're not even arguing about the ability to edit it,..afterall Wikipedia left the ability to edit for a reason so that new information can be added

The focus should be if the information is right or wrong

Anyone can indeed edit, but if Samuel Eto is from Ebonyi State and you remove his name from a page that says so, it would be argued, and if evidence for its validity is provided, it stays and the remover would not be able to remove it anymore.

The guy is right in some ways. Anyone can edit unprotected Wikipedia pages, and many Wikipedia pages are unprotected and created by people like you and me. Any ordinary person can create a Wikipedia page for Ebonyi or even any state in Nigeria and anyone can edit the page.

That is why it is always advisable not to use Wikipedia pages for school works. I know of foreign universities (lecturers) who don't like quotes picked straight from Wikipedia. When I was doing my master's, a lecturer specifically warned me never to quote directly from Wikipedia ever again.

It is. And if one continues to edit lies into wiki they'd be banned from future wiki editing.

Ok.. noted..but the focus should be whether the information is right or wrong , for Wikipedia to leave it open to he edited, it means new information is supposed to be added which isn't a bad idea

Go on, show is you can.

Thanks for confirming, that was actually the subject matter before we all deviated, whether it was correct or not

If there is any evidence, the person that last modified the page would have provided a link. But check the page, the references are very few and none seemed to contain a lead to the site where the editor had gotten his information.

Someone merely modified the page and included Eto's name. The admins mostly don't take this seriously since the page is unprotected.

It is not entirely a good idea because sometimes someone would come up with false information driven by tribalism, racism. They always get banned by the admin, but what about people who would have seen the page before the admin modify it?
