On the other hand, people who know about something usually have an impressive 
urge to share that knowledge, so the very fact that anyone can alter a 
wikipedia page means that, more often than not, people in the know have come by 
and made sure the information is largely accurate.

That and good wikipedia articles cite piles of sources that you can check for 
yourself, if you want.

I'm sorry, I have an issue with people who use Wikipedia.  If you are going to 
cite a source, how about one that is reliable?  Wikipedia is barely monitored 
and anyone can go in and make changes to whatever they want to.  Use an edu, 
gov, or a org site if you are going to use one.  com sites are commercial, and 
net sites are just domains on a network, which can be linked to certain 
organizations or businesses.
 
Sorry, I am not flaming this person (I hope), I just can't stand it when, like 
I said, people use unreliable sources as a good source of information.
