Some have claimed that Wikipedia contains about as many errors as an average established encyclopedia source, but with it's ability to be edited by anyone, it's easy to worry about vandalism, opinions stated as facts, unfounded information, and unrelated material being inserted into the pages.

Since anyone can add to it, I'd look it up for answers, but then try to verify it at other websites.

Wikipedia has anti-vandal functions ever since way back when when some fool changed it to make it look like someone killed kennedy who really didn't do it. It made the news and everything.
I rely on wikipedia for nearly all of my school reports.

it depends on the information that you want you get cause sometimes the Wikipedia information is unreliable in the sense that it produces some error..

no wikipedia is not trustworthy, the founder of wikipedia had so many complaints for college students because they were getting F's on their papers and his reply back to them was.."your in college, you should know better" so yeah, i wouldnt use it.
