Wiki is usually reliable on most scientific and mathematical topics and
you can always check the references from the bibliography.
But not, unfortunately, on global warming matters, as there was the case where one of the AGW activists who was also a Wiki editor went through and rewrote all the articles about the Medieval warm period and the mini ice-age saying that scientists had now come to the conclusion that they didn't exist, (not true) just to try and give credence to the now defunct hockey-stick graph which had eliminated them to back up the claim by M. Mann of unprecedented warming. He was exposed and banned from wiki.
