Wikipedia

I have always been warned about Wikipedia and how it is not the most reliable source. In all honesty, I have only ever used wikipedia as a source if I am looking for a definition of something and usually it is something I am somewhat familiar with. I really do not think that there are too many opportunities in which you can trust what Wikipedia says. Of course, there are many things that are true, however I do not think that Wikipedia should ever be used as a reliable source for information. I have seen people use Wikipedia as sources in papers and other things. Because anyone can put information on Wikipedia and change current information I do not think all information can be trusted as reliable.
