well the founder of wikipedia does nothing on keeping the things that are posted accurate. There has been many fake posts over the years on wikipedia like the most recent one, if you put your phone in the microwave for 30 seconds it will fully charge. Obviously that is total B.S and you phone would explode if put into a microwave. Anyone can post on wikipedia all you have to do is make an account.

Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, does not directly manage content but relies on a community of volunteer editors. They help maintain accuracy through citation requirements, review processes, rollback features, and community guidelines. This collaborative approach allows for collective oversight, although inaccuracies can still occur.
