I think Wiki is great to look something up and get a general idea but I don't think I have ever (or ever will) think of Wiki as being credible - personal opinion. Its full of the bias and opinion of the wikikeeper. Ever try making a change to a Wiki entry, even one backed up by fact? Chances are your changes will be removed without explanation or though because the wikikeeper thinks they know better.
