Wikipedia says Wikipedia is fantastically accurate. In other news, GOP says "GOP is absolutely awesome", Democratic Party says "Democratic Party rocks the USA!" and Justin Bieber says "Justin Bieber is the best artist in the world."

Yeah... having two bachelors degrees in history, and working on my masters in library science, I have to call out Wikipedia on their bullshit.
On the whole it's more accurate than your typical info website or blog. It's OK for a quick reference to look up when you're having a conversation with friends, but as an academic source it's garbage.
