Use it only for fun stuff such as looking up Bushwick Bill of the Geto Boys or Flavor Flav. "Well-trusted" wikipedia is not. If you're a student try to use as many primary sources as possible.

I do believe in the cause and non-commercialization of information. I think for the most part Wikipedia gives pretty accurate information. As far as individuals being targeted on Wikipedia, I think it's wrong. There are ways to combat that though. Most vandalized pages are locked to editing to registered users. And even unregistered edits have IPs associated with them. I think it can be fixed. To say it can't means that you are assuming that the model can change. Anything on the web can change.
