 • Wikipedia is also a website where you can write about any topic or personality.
 • Wikipedia is also international, which means that you can write in any language.

-fact-checking 
-remarkable transparency 
-focused on the quality of sources
-open access format
-verifiability not truth 
-they give their users a sense of responsibility 
-to settle the discrimination suffered by women, the example they give is that of editors recommending women novelists from the American novelists' category to make room for them from male authors

It was reputed to share fake information, since everyone could add information on this platform. But nowadays, Wikipedia is the champion in the battle against disinformation. It should be the “first point of research”.
Wikipedia's strength is its ability to be remarkably transparent.
Wikipedia’s editors are volunteers, they contribute to the community and in particular to fight against disinformation. They are focused on the quality of information sources and factual accuracy. Wikipedia’s editors have been deleting and correcting false information on platform articles for 14 years. So by the work of the Wikipedia administrators all of us can research information on Wikipedia platform in complete trust. With “wiki” the problem with disinformation due to the internet is set, now let's go educate ourselves on security!
