What do you think of using Wikipedia?

Discussion

What do you think of using Wikipedia?

Key advice:

Wikipedia is a secondary information site where anyone can access the information and edit or amend it. this makes it potentially unreliable, so direct reference should not be used to provide evidence. Facts contained within entries should be corroborated. However, it can be useful for establishing ideas and lines of enquiry. It can also provide leads to other research through the references and sources given.
