Information, nowadays we can get it almost everywhere. All powerful Google search engine, the informative Wikipedia, Google Maps/Wikimapia, Blogs, Online news portal, Social networks, and the rest. It is no longer important that if somebody has the information but somebody else doesn't. Even if somebody does not know about it, just give him Internet, he shall be enlightened in less than an hour, or probably even less than that.
Information nowadays is not valuable anymore, the more important aspect of the information is the source of the information, and also the time of the information. A piece of information is only valid if it is from a source that is proven. Wikipedia, as far as I know, it's not a proven source of truth, there are some users without any creditability who are also adding information into the online encyclopedia. Science is one way to prove things, but not all things can be proven using scientific method.
Time of the information is also very important. What is compiled back in 2009, might be already not true anymore by now. Information will also depreciate with time, and at a much faster rate as well.
