Wikipedia is a website that offers a collaborative encyclopedia whose content is under a "free license". Wikipedia is powered by a voluntary association of individuals and working groups who want to jointly develop a comprehensive resource of human knowledge. The very structure of this project allows anyone with an Internet connection to modify its content. So be aware that not everything here has been reviewed by people with the expertise to provide you with complete, accurate and reliable information.

The community associated with Wikipedia continually seeks to select and highlight reliable versions of articles. To do this, it uses tools such as the [[Special:Recent changes|recent changes]] and [[Special:New pages|new pages]] monitoring page to monitor the evolution of current content and its modifications. However, Wikipedia is not consistently reviewed by peer reviewers. Any reader can correct errors or engage in a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Mediation Committee|formal proofreading]], but such readers have no legal obligation to do so, and therefore all information read here is without any guarantee of reliability for any purpose or use. Even articles that have been vetted by an informal peer-review or validated through a process leading to a [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Quality articles|quality article]], may then have been inappropriately edited, just before you did. It is therefore advisable to always keep a critical reading of the articles.
