I have always been a little skeptical about the information on Wikipedia, and after reading these articles, I will be very hesitant about trusting it again. I realize the concept of Wikipedia is for it to be collaborative, and compiled of different sources, but I think there needs to be a screening process when people edit the information on it. I don't think Wikipedia should ever be used as the only source for anything important. It can only be trusted if it is compared with numerous other legitimate sources.
I think that, like most of the internet, Wikipedia has a lot of good information. However, I think people should be especially careful when using information from this site. Research should always have more than one source anyway, so using Wikipedia isn't all bad, if it is done along with other sources that could be considered more legitimate.
