An editorial is a piece that describes an opinion through an official or professional source. Over the years, I have been told countless times by teachers that Wikipedia is not a reliable website. Teacher's don't often let you use Wikipedia as a source, due to the fact that anyone, anywhere, can change the information shown on a page. My opinion on Wikipedia has yet to have changed; I see Wikipedia as a reliable source, despite what my teacher's say. A forum in which you can edit and change information is actually a good idea, reason being that people from all around the world can share their knowledge and we can learn from one another. Though Wikipedia might have it's flaws, as all websites do, I see it as a credible source of information that doesn't get enough credit.
