Wikipedia and the Meaning of Truth

Based on your own experimentation with Wikipedia and on your reading of the article by Garfinkel , what is the meaning of Truth as it applies to Wikipedia articles?

What About Privacy?

As college students, web users, and library researchers, much of your personal information and search behavior is captured and analyzed. You can be identified by your email address and other information you may provide when you sign-up or log-in for various web accounts and services. If you use Google search, Gmail, or other Google products, much of your usage and behavior can be, and is, recorded. The specific computer you use can be identified by its IP address. All this data could potentially be mined to create a digital profile of you. The library has information about what books and other items you check out. With a court order, legal authorities can demand access to this information. How do you feel about exposing yourself in these ways? Have emerging information technologies diminished your right to privacy? Do you think the government should be able to examine your use of the internet and the library?
