The person who described the Wikipedia site as 'unreliable' may well have been parroting what he or she heard others say back when it first started. It did seem to have the potential to be filled up with inaccuracies and plain outright lies by whoever wanted to contribute.
But, now after a good number of years, and additional scrutiny and security, I think it is quite reliable - at least as a gateway into a topic, if not even more. I've seen errors or 'close calls' but they're far and few between.
I always use it.
