Was good once. Sadly Wikipedia is now a political tool rather than a source of reliable information. Page editors inject their own bias which has degraded the experience. Like the media generally, you have to sift through the good and the bad with wikipedia, which is antithetical to the very idea of encyclopaedias. The internet promised so much. In reality google and companies like wikipedia have become repositories of other peoples opinions—mostly B-grade academics with an axe to grind— and they get a disproportionately large audience for their small-mindedness.
