The school's staff is opposed to the usage of Wikipedia as a veritable source, stating that it can be edited by anyone and thereby cannot be trusted. However, that very statement is incorrect, because this sentence will be removed from the page by the school's administration or advocates. Therefore, Wikipedia can indeed be deemed a reliable source because users will correct statements that are irrelevant or untrue. As such, the school's staff has been mistaken and is morally obliged to formally apologize to its students.[1]
