Wikipedia is a resource that I once paid a lot more attention to. Due to the library lectures about why Wikipedia is the absolute number one thing I shouldn't use, I have looked for more reliable resources when searching for information. I don't use Wikipedia so much now because of the chance that the information I am getting from the site isn't the reliable research I am expecting.
My professors in the past have told me not to use Wikipedia if I am doing a research project for their class. Though I do sometimes click on it for a quick definition or reference to something if I type a topic into Google.
I think that some write for Wikipedia to correct the information that is on there, but I feel like that can't really be verified because anyone can go in at any time and change what is written. Because of this, you can never really be sure about the correctness of the information given on the site.
