That's a perfectly true, but perfectly vacuous assertion. Wikipedia should be trusted exactly as much as any other single source may be trusted, for exactly the same reason. Striving to find the most reliable sources is fraught with pitfalls whether you attempt do to it yourself or rely on the collective efforts of Wikipedia editors to do so. Wikipedia is a giant collection of summaries and overview of topics, and it never pretendend to be anything else. If you *end* your reasearch there for anything of importance, then you commit as sin no graver (nor lighter) than picking any other random book on the topic and ending your research there. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
