There are many definitions for knowledge. The most reliable comes from philosophy in general and epistemology specifically. I read a lot of philosophy and have given a lot of thought to what constitutes knowledge. The best definition, imo, is a "justified and true belief." It's not just a matter of whether what you believe is true, but why do you believe it? You have to be justified in believing it before it constitutes knowledge unto you. Otherwise it is just information.
