It is not a real encyclopedia if it can be edited by non-professionals! Although very much of it is true, you can't be sure of what is or what isn't, so that means you're pretty much ****** when trying to reference to that site. People should stop suggesting to look there for answers....not that this is credible either.....

Well, I agree. But you can't find a bigger free encyclopedia online.

I use it sometimes for reports but to a certain extent. I wouldn't use it as a main source because some of the facts don't match up 100%. I agree with you that it should never be a main source of information but I guess for people who just want a simple idea of something its the perfect site.

It's good enough for most answers. If somebody wants to know why a TV show was canceled or something, wikipedia has it.

You are right. Wikipedia is not reliable, and you can't be too careful of your sources.
