Wikipedia is visited by different user types and its contributors vary greatly. For the most part a smaller group of contributors make up the bulk of a page's content, but gradually smaller contributions add further detail. I noticed a lot of revisions for vandalism as well. There contributions are smaller, but allow for another type of user to retract their false information. Wikipedia gives all users the tools to report possible vandalism or fix it themselves. Wikipedia does not tolerate vandalism and its integrity relies on this. Wikipedia retains its reputation as a reliable source, because of its variation of contributors.
