Calling Wikipedia "knowledge" is being generous. That label is mostly its self-important marketing.
Wikipedia is actually a reference that's oh so cheap and easy to access that its unreliability doesn't matter. It's what you use for "answers" when it's not important that you get the right one (or for pushing an agenda onto lazy information consumers).

Nothing's a perfect "infallible information source," but you can do better than Wikipedia without needing to go as far as "buying out a university." Perhaps Kindle Unlimited plus a newspaper subscription for current events?
