Re: Wikipedians wanted [was Re: All caps for UNIX (for no good reason)]

I love Wikipedia.  That is, I love it for non-professional research and 
curiosity. I would not trust it as a sole source of information, but I 
have followed hyperlinks and other resources to more official and 
reliable information.

Wikipedia is often a first-stop for research, but rarely the last.

For those that use Wikipedia, how reliable and up-to-date do you find it
to be? Is it the first place you go to check for a term or item that is
new to you? Do you double-check information you find on Wikipedia to
make sure that whoever wrote the entry really knows what he/she is
talking about? Or do you use Wikipedia to double-check information found
on some "official" or "authoritative" source to be sure that the
authority knows what they're talking about?
