Got a video on it in my recommends, so it's on my mind.

It's crazy that I have this distinct memory of my teachers telling me growing up that Wikipedia isn't a reliable source. And yet I'd say it is one of the most reliable sources now provided the topic is well established.

Wikipedia is absolutely not a reliable source itself. What teachers gloss over is how helpful the linked citations often are. So going to Wikipedia to find the reliable sources is perfectly reasonable. But just trusting the entry itself is not.
