    You’re not using that phrase correctly. “Take it with a grain of salt” means not to commit to the knowledge until it’s verified else where or at least applying basic skepticism to it.

    Wikipedia is a fairly safe place to start with research, but I would never really believe it for current event policies or adjacent topics.

    Conservipedia is an engineered echo chamber that exists because Wikipedia kicked their founders out for vandalism. It only gives credibility to Wikipedia.

      Exactly, Wikipedia has all sorts of processes and policies around making articles high quality. That includes trying to remove as much ideologically driven material as possible. This would be deleted in seconds (maybe literally).
