On its own is crap.
Using it as an example of an opinion or such, on here, is ok in my book, if it's clear that you intend to use the wikipedia article as a means of displaying or giving an example of something you've taken part of elsewhere as well.
IE "just like [insert name of other text here], this wikipedia article seems to indicate...".
Wikipedia can't be taken as truth.
For instance, I've seen articles on it completely derailed by (what I assumed was) patriotic americans, in instances when what I assumed was fair historical accounts said something disagreeable about U.S. policies.
For instance, I remember a really daft discussion on whether the U.S. had had Noriega on their payroll.
This I'm sure goes in every direction, tho', as the girl says in Cheese's article, americans seem to be dominating it.
