Improving Greek Wikipedia

Greek wikipedia is written by people with no knowledge and they just copy and paste random material from the internet.They don't use any trustworthy sources, and admins do not allow users like me to make changes which are correct and documented but they still write untrue and false information. They don't use any trustworthy source but they find unreliable sources from blogs, unreliable sites or they write anything that they come up with. Unfortunately, there are not many reliable greek sources on the internet, so they are always telling me that I can't prove my claims and they also use those fly-by-night sources as evidence. So, if we could find a solution about this problem, greek wikipedia could be reliable and popular.
