Wikipedia is it reliable?

Given the huge subject matter dealt with by Wikipedia, and also the number of contributors, there are bound to be mistakes. However, generally it is most reliable. My advice would be to use Wikipedia as a part of your research, not the basis of it, especially if you are writing academically and grades may depend on your research. I am always more inclined to trust information where sources or other links are provided. At least then you know that the contributor has done his or her homework. Use Wikipedia, but don't treat it as gospel.

Hi careliscool,actually in wikipedia whatever information is given those are written by the site members.Those information may be correct and that has the higher probability but sometimes it may be wrong as well.It is not desirable as all those are properly checked by the site administrators.

Its' reliability varies. You are always recommended to verify information from other sources too, especially if you are using it for educational purposes.

You know Some Articles of lower importance have a margin of error in them. but not all! its according to me 95% trustable!

Though the article itself may not be correct all the time, more often then not there will be a list of related sites at the bottom of the article. These are normally links to more trusted sources. So while Wikipedia itself is not always a good source, it is a great place to start some basic research.
