Wikipedia (Part 1)

I use wikipedia often to find commen knowledge about a subject within a general area and than explore my search further to other informative websites. I belive wikipedia can be used as a reilable research search for subject matter, but his/her search should explore more areas of information than just wikipedia. Wikipedia is a good source to find common information about subject matter but not a source I would accrediadate to. I belive the website should be used within a educational program in the same manner listed above.
