    Wikipedia can be very good for things like history of all episodes of a TV show... or gaming world/anime topics but for bios, political figures/controversies, corporations, medical-- info should be viewed as possibly/likely manipulated by agenda editors, many whom are paid.

        Me? I try to go to original sources I have who have proven accurate in the past, I try to view as much original source material as I'm able: the entire quote, context, news conference, meeting, etc. I believe little of what is reported initially on most anything--

        When I was teaching, I told all my students that Wikipedia was not a source. It could lead you to a source, but never list it as one.

        You are absolutely correct and unless you are an honest expert in a particular field you would never notice It is not over dramatic to say those white washers of facts are as diabolical as they are very bad people

        Their math pages are also pretty solid. Unfortunately, anything on there that can be politicized, is politicized.

        Indeed. Wikipedia may not be cited in serious scholarly works on controversial areas, alas, due to our human weaknesses. A great pity and a sad reality.

        Good for other things too. Basic facts about states, cities, countries. Want something in depth? Go somewhere else. Want just some basic information? Wikipedia is probably fine. Much like any encyclopedia.

        Also, very surface level biographical or historical facts are fine. Dates, that sort of thing. Even for certain controversial historical things, like Iran Contra. It would not be good as an depth source at all. But not a bad place to start necessarily.

        When I was in college, more than one instructor said that Wikipedia is NOT a research source and would fail your paper for using a Wikipedia source! It is edited to meet a political pejorative rather than being factually accurate!
