This is a really old misconception that, itself, has been debunked. Numerous fact-checks of Wikipedia have found that, even though it contains inaccuracies, it is just as if not more reliable than other Encyclopedias, on top of having more sources you can follow.

@Raccoon@techhub.social @LucasWerkmeister@wikis.world @sandyarmstrong@hachyderm.io "This is a really old misconception that, itself, has been debunked" - says person failing to cite any such "debunking". "Numerous fact-checks of Wikipedia have found that" - there are NO Maths textbooks referenced. "it is just as if not more reliable than other Encyclopedias" - both of which are way less reliable than Maths textbooks 🙄 "on top of having more sources you can follow" - none of which were Maths textbooks
