Wiki is not to be trusted. EVER. It relies on information taken from the
public and some of these members of the public mean harm, or at least
mislead readers. It may have improved over the years, I don't know, but I
for one never ever go to that site.

I use it a lot. While it is not to be trusted, it is at least as
reliable as the average academic book or paper, which is a pretty
damning indictment of the state of academia:-( But I usually know
enough to be able to detect significant bias or errors, and I use
it only as an index in important matters (i.e. I go back to the
sources, and validate THEM for reliability!)
