[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9308920, member: 18"] Wikipedia is generally sourced, and thus as reliable as the sources, for the most part. In the hierarchy of reliability, that makes it say, much more reliable than, for example, the New York Times, which no only has un-sourced stories, but continues to keep stories up when they've been conclusively debunked with only pathetic "updates" which are more shadow than light. Or indeed most news services or TV shows. Sometimes it isn't sourced, or the sources are terrible, but usually see that really easily by looking at what the sources (if any) are. Again, this means it's actually more reliable than most things. I'd say in general, at this point in history, it's typically far more reliable than any other source you're just going to find with a normal search engine. You usually have to get into actual academic texts to beat it. Again, there are exceptions, but they tend to be obvious. [/QUOTE]
