It looks like a bunch of generalities addressed to American college students, frankly. (Like much else on Wikipedia, hah. For reasons that are not hard to understand.)
Imagine you're a teacher of a class of sixteen-year-olds, and you're leaning over the shoulder of one of them looking at a WP article. Your job is to tell them to click here/scroll there/read the tags at the top/observe that this section has no footnotes, to some effect, so that the student has a better idea of how to assess what they're looking at.
