That said, you should never take anything that's posted there as the Gospel truth. Instead, the stuff on Wikipedia provides a good starting point for your own research. Follow up the references and then start doing your own reading from there on. Use Wikipedia as a sort of tourist map to the particular subject you're working on. On the other hand, citing wikipedia as a source in any serious academic paper is committing suicide. I like Wikipedia and it has helped me in a lot of the stuff I’m researching on.

If you see something that is wrong or poorly written, you fix it. My fingerprints (twohlford) are all over several articles. Wiki is just like someone's class paper on a subject. Just like looking at another's class paper, you need to do your own research and NOT cite Wiki for any academic work What Wiki does for researchers (and journalists) is give them a shove in the right direction.

It's been incredibly helpful, even with it's inherent monkeyshines. Early on I looked up Bill O'Reilly just to see, sure enough, the item was badly marred. Still, it's a valuable resource with a lot of good work not to be dismissed. Wikipedia is amazing. It’s been incredibly helpful, even with it’s inherent monkeyshines.
