The man in the photograph is a British veteran of the Battle of Waterloo - he is wearing his Waterloo medal.

    They do the best with the information they have and if you know a fact is wrong you can edit a correction.

    They don't claim they are infallible, but for the majority they are accurate.

    Even if that is the medal you claim, there is no mention of who the man is and where and how he got it.

    Had we been able to read the text that accompanied the pic then we could say more

    Wikipedia has faults in that anyone can make additions or corrections to is so trolls and idiots can corrupt it but as a source of information on just about every subject you can imagine it is very good, it has answers for just about every bit of important history and irrelevant trivia which is itself something amazing. If used correctly and the individuals who have the proper knowledge make the input it can be a very informative and essential tool and knowledge base.

    Other than the tangential reference to a battle and a medal, what does this have to do with the military?

    As to your question, Wikipedia is crap because ANYONE can edit it.

    You should seek psychiatric help.....you are whining (which is your absolute right!) about something that has an accurate label attached to it! (Which is a sure sign of psychosis!)

    I do hope you get quality treatment and get better soon!
