When is open government data reliable? or unreliable?

I've started an essay about the reliability of open government data and "official" versus "reliable" data. I'm very much in favour of open data. But just as there are predatory journals that give open access research a bad name, there is also a risk in assuming that open data is necessarily reliable. In particular, there is peer review research suggesting that in the COVID-19 pandemic pages we are currently providing disinformation for several countries, even though this is unintentional. The reasons and possible alternatives are not trivial issues, which is why I think an essay is appropriate to see if arguments for and against possible ways to handle this disinformation can emerge. Please feel free to improve the essay. Boud (talk) 23:42, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

Open source publisher trying to aid Arab language users with their computers etc. It was established in early 2001 by a number of Arab Linux enthusiasts. Trying to find sources is hampered by the presumed language of sources. Arabic language speakers needed. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 15:40, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
