I don't consider Wikipedia reliable as a source no ... as previously stated it's "fine" for some stuff but in essence it's a debating forum and for anything contentious it's awful. I do use Wiki but only as a starting point, never, withoiut qualification, as a reference.

And I think you have a far too positive a view of it.
