Wikipedia is not exactly known for its reliability. Such a result is probably unavoidable when contributors are either amateurs or individuals in conflict of interest―even those most privileged.

But how great would it be if governments were to go beyond paying teachers and actually contribute to developing free content for the general public? Could public funding at long last turn the Internet into a reliable source of information?

No other innovator than the Russian Federation could be about to answer that, except... so far, its initiative has focused on creating a "trustworthy" (censored) version which fills the gap after Russia shut down the actual Wikipedia last year.

Better not hold our breaths…😒
