Last week, a person with the Twitter handle @arizonasunblock from Tampa, Florida, noticed that Bradley, who has been on the high court since 2015, appeared to make major changes to her Wikipedia biography earlier this year.

So this is what my teachers meant when they said "don't trust Wikipedia".

Don't worry, it'll be corrected. Issues like this are temporary and ultimately fixed, as this news article coming out helps do.

Politics articles aren't ones I would suggest are inherently reliable in any medium regardless.

Oh I know it'll get corrected. Hard-core wikipedia editors and admins are a different breed, this shit won't last.

One time in school the teacher actually told us to go on Wikipedia to look something up for a report. I edited the page to change the information to something incorrect. I of course put the correct info on my report. I taught everyone a lesson that day.
