If it is written sounding like someone really knew what they were talking about when they were writing about it, then I would rely on it. At my school they wont let us go onto wikipedia but I hate that rule because I get a lot of information of that site.

Liv

it is actually quite accurate, the information submitted in the article is referenced from various sources- books, internet sites/articles, etc. so if its referenced, you can confidently use that information. Just reference the source in your bibliography

It is maintained by the public. Other than items with historical relevance, I would use Wikipedia simply as a reference point.
