i often use wikipedia as a quick reference...
however, since former journalist John Seigenthaler went public with a faulty entry, the site has been under fire. meanwhile, this site has been skeptical of the project all along.
in a bid to improve its system, wikipedia now requires registration to edit entries. at the same time, journal Nature vets scientific themed articles with relatively positive results.
[update: the uk register dashes the nature analysis with some perspective]
all in all, use wikipedia (and the rest of the internet) with some skepticism...
but who didn't know that already...?
