Who the heck cites the wiki when researching stuff? Of course that's asking for trouble.
Just follow the links to the sources of the page's info, and go from there. It's incredibly easy to use the Wikipedia as a research search engine, it cuts down on time spent finding material greatly, and is easy to get to for pretty much everyone.

I use Wikipedia as an index to cited sources. I never use information *directly* from Wikipedia that requires absolute accuracy.
