This is a correct statement. Hannah describes Stickypedia as an "online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to".
This is an incorrect statement. Icarus says, "it's true that Stickypedia is maintained by anonymous volunteers rather than renowned experts"; Hannah says that "anyone can contribute" to Stickypedia. This means that Stickypedia is written by normal people who work for free - Stickypedia is not written by experts.
This is a correct statement. Icarus says that he is "helping edit the content of Stickypedia". In this context, "to edit" means to verify, revise and correct. Example: I EDITED the movie script by removing some unnecessary lines of dialogue and correcting several spelling mistakes. Icarus is checking Stickypedia articles to ensure the quality of this online encyclopedia.
This is an incorrect statement. Hannah describes Stickypedia as "the online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to and is therefore full of inaccurate information". If something is "inaccurate", it is incorrect, untrue or inexact. This means that Hannah does not trust the information on Stickypedia.
