I think ANY website page should be examined with scrutiny and compared to other .edu or .gov sources when available.

Using it to support opinion commentaries here is not the same thing as citing it in high school/university research papers or objective news reporting!
Is verbatim copying/posting of wiki material here or anywhere for any reason and without citing the material not called plagiarism?
