There was quite a discussion a year or two ago about the reliability of Wikipedia. Following that, some changes were made by the leaders of the project to improve reliability of the information therein, but it is obvious that it will be very hard to make sure that every article is correct. If I am not mistaken, some kind of certification is happening there now for each reliable article, and these articles ptrobably are monitored for changes, and if changes happen, they are again checked for accuracy, but I'm not sure.
