I would say true but it's just a guess.

Answer:

The statement is true. Wikipedia is today the main tool for collecting information for students, workers and even academics around the world, as it provides fast, accessible, verifiable and free information to everyone. Therefore, its pages should get high ratings, as they are helpful for all people.

While the information is verifiable, it should be noted that any Wikipedia user can modify their articles, which are subsequently moderated by specialists. But even so, there is a risk that some data may be wrong, so it is necessary for the readers to control the information obtained. Therefore, a good option would be a system of ranking information and qualifying answers, so that other users know the experience of other students regarding the information provided.
