Wikipedia varies, as any public resource will. On scientific matters they're actually more accurate than many encyclopaedia, as your common garden variety idiot can't edit what it says without it being incredibly obvious, and quickly having the edits undone. On matters of fact or philosophy it's usually pretty accurate. Just be wary of pop-culture articles, and if in doubt always double-check the facts against another site.
