Wikipedia not secure ?

This is what i get on https://secure.wikimedia.org



Any ideas why it shouldn't be totally secure ?

 

Because it contains other content that isn't secured.

 

pedia or media...?

 

Similar to _many_ others with mixed content.

How about that fine Wilders https://? ;>

Even Pirate Bay provides that, at least.

No security for the wicked here, though.

 

Mixed content indeed, AdBlockPlus shows all images still served via HTTP instead of HTTPS.

Hi, thanks

Seems silly to provide HTTPS then spoil it by allowing HTTP through

 

They're not the only ones. This Microsoft page also does it -https://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c3202ce6-4056-4059-8a1b-3a9b77cdfdda&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3a+MicrosoftDownloadCenter+(Microsoft+Download+Center)&pf=true

If you see its source code, you'll notice 25 (http) insecure content.

 

Just checked that Looooong URL Yes RED here too Crazy !

 

I remember reading some time ago on Wikipedia that the data can be altered by a number of sources. Don`t know by how many or who, but that is what it said.

I always considered Wiki as a fairly accurate source of information, but if unauthorised people can alter the information, then how can it be ?

If they can tamper with it, they can contaminate it.
