Default RE: wikipedia

Very true, I'm just saying that if someone uses them, they should remember that not all the info is guaranteed to be correct 100% of the time. They aren't intentionally misleading, they just have a few facts wrong some times. Your right that a second source should (preferably a more established source should be chosen). They are good about listing the source for their information which can help you find what you're looking for.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying they are terrible, I'm just saying that one shouldn't put in an unquestioned faith in what they are saying because some of their articles on one topic will change over and over again each time you go there. The nice thing is they are one of the most user friendly sites when it comes to just wanting some simple facts. You are almost guaranteed to find something about the subject which doesn't always happen on search engines.
