Wikipedia is famous for its information and is a very good tool for research. But you should always check other sources for the same information to insure that you get truthful information. I would be skeptical to believe it with my life, anyone with a wikimedia account can edit the information.

It's actually pretty reliable. There are groups of people that control certain subjects on the site, and if someone adds some incorrect information, they just delete it. So, in all, it's generally a pretty good source, despite what everyone says.

Its hard to say. My teachers don't always trust it. Then again they don't trust lots of websites on the web. I wouldn't base a whole essay off of that website but it has some good facts on it.

Usually yes. It's a great starting point for any research project. It's also been the deciding factor in many arguments between me and my gf.

Definitely not. Wikipedia abandoned my family after promising to support us financially and emotionally for the rest of our lives.
I'm also pretty sure it stole a lot of my Halloween candy.
