Most of us use Wikipedia for any number of things and some of us are aware of the unreliability of Wikipedia because of either a lack of reliable sources, apparently editor-wars, article vandalism, and a few other things. I think most of us are quite aware of the fact that very few profs or educational lecturers would ever accept an article from Wikipedia without having some knowledge of the sites reputation (both good and bad)


Wiki-Watch aims at enhancing the transparency of Wikipedia by proving the body of source material of each Wikipedia article. Based on scientific criteria, Wiki-Watch facilitates the assessment of each Wikipedia article. It is a central tool for anyone using Wikipedia. Especially for media professionals, Wiki-Watch serves as a research tool indicating lack of sources and evaluating the reliability of every single entry ever made, using WikiTrusts color code system to display the reputation of a text according to the reputation and number of revisions by users. We are thus helping to spot unrevised changes within Wikipedias articles.

Furthermore, Wiki-Watch is shedding light on edit wars and deletions, as well as on the activities of administrators and power editors.
If you want to check on the reliability of an article posted on Wikipedia, insert your article of interest into "Let's check Wikipedia:" and select to Search and observe the reliability rating of selected article. Your article will load directly into the same Wiki-watch page.
