Is this true?
Answer: No way. Though Wikipedia has been found to be fairly accurate, the problem is that you don't know who wrote each article. In the research world, there is a term called "authority". The author (root of authority) must be an expert on the topic they are writing about to make it a good research source. Since you don't know if the writer of a Wikipedia article is an expert, you cannot use it as a legitimate source of information. How do you know if they are an expert. Well, people with advanced college degrees like doctorates (Ph.Ds) are usually experts in a field. But are they an expert in the topic that you are researching. To be really sure, I suggest using database articles found in a library. That's the best way. :)
