Name calling...personal attacks...--Is this purely a matter of debate to you? I feel what you are saying about wikipedia is true, it just isn't taking into account that there is a lot of good, true information there written by many knowledgeable folk... It is a unique source.

The lazy researcher's way out is to block out any source based purely upon the site in which it resides without even considering the content. I agree with you that to put 100% faith in Wikipedia is crazy... I would say the same for all sources including published encyclopedias, scientific journals, etc.
I believe it foolish to limit any information in the realm of research. I don't think any intelligent person would limit themselves to any single source including wikipedia during research. That would be insane.
