Pong was the first game ever, learn your stuff.

Tennis for Two has been referred to as the first video game. Other games contending for this title are the 1952 tic-tac-toe game OXO and an unnamed missile-like game patented in 1948 that used overlaid pictures to represent targets to be hit by controlled beams of light.[12][4][13][14] However, Tennis for Two stands out from these games by displaying motion and having the graphics contained within the system. As such, the earlier games have been referred to as amusement or electronics games, but not necessarily video games.[6] Higinbotham never patented the design, partly because the patent would have been given to the federal government, which financed Brookhaven. Additionally, Highinbotham did not see the game as any major difference from the computer's existing capability.[11][6]

I'm not saying that they're wrong, and no. I think it's unreliable because on multiple accounts it has been, in my experience.

Do you mind showing me an example?

It's edited to be changed, now. I think it was just vandals.

Fun fact : Wikipedia's article on Al Capone is locked from editing due to vandalism.

Wikipedia isn't unreliable. There are admins that check what edits have been made and decide if it's vandalism. I have actually corrected small mistakes in various Wikipedia articles.
