Poll: Do you trust "Wikipedia"

Encyclopedia Dramatica

Wait..you use that as a source of info? It's AE not a wiki as such.

For people who say don't trust wikipedia since it can be seen and edited by anyone, surely that goes the other way, so many people use it surely someone will notice the mistake pretty quickly and wikipedia does give you a good references section as a starting point for further reading.

Yeah, most of the time. I trust it if I wanna find out something trivial or if I wanna find out the amount of nuetrons in a hydrogen cell or something. But for things that really matter, wouldn't trust further than I could throw my house.

Wikipedia is accurate due to its own personal army of insomniatic google-mongers. I'm not even joking.

The main problem with using Wikipedia as a source for assignments and such is that the information on it changes, is updated etc, based on the above WikiArmy. Your best bet for those kind of things is to use Wikipedia as general information and use the sources listed and external links in a bibliography as actual research.
