I often use wiki as a start out place to go on and do further research - often there are many terms relevant to the subject that I have never come across before - and there are links too - I actually really like wiki.

If Im stuck too, I go and have a look there for suggestions to further reading thumbs up

Depends on the subject and the complexity surrounding it. Wiki does say at the top of the page if more facts are needed or if the info is under consideration for being deleted depending on the sources and facts.

If I type in Sweden, and read what wiki says about Sweden, it is pretty much 110% fact.

Thats why I like them, they are open and just want to get the most right and up to date info they can to their readers.
