I love wikipedia. If I can't find a topic on wikipedia then something must be wrong because wikipedia contains everything, to me. If something sounds fishy, it's possible to cross reference the information. WIkipedia provides the references used to write their articles and this is such a good idea; it gives people more articles to read on the topic of their choice without taking the information wikpedia provides as the almighty truth.
I do agree with Lanier that we need to approach it with some skepticism, but I don't think it's a bad site. I think people using Wikipedia just need to use commmon sense.
