I love wikipedia
But it has to be taken with a pinch of salt. At university we have been told multiple times that it is not a reliable source when any member of the public can edit it and fill it full of nonsense.

What it does though, is give you a great general overview of a subject (want to read a quick history on Anne Frank or The Millenium wheel?). Then you can use one of its apparently well hidden secrets - the sources that all this information was culled from and proven, which can often be from some very reliable institutions.
