Nowt wrong with using Wikipedia as a source, at least not in a general way. Of course, it’s always wise to double check a Wiki article, which is what the ‘References’ section is for.

Bingo. Wiki is a handy quick reference, and is largely spot on for non- controversial matters of fact. But wiki is a start point, not an end point. Cranks tend not to realise that for some reason, and alternate between using it as an authoritative source and a matter of deriding their opponent as suits their argument du jour.
Funny that.
