I'm going to sound like a Behind-the-times-fuddy-duddy; but I do not use Wikipedia. I have looked at it a few times when someone has specificaly pointed towards it, that's about it. When I am looking for information I just use the slow road and Google search, looking for information which seems to be as close to 1st person, origin, or trusted ( for example when looking up statistics on health I check WHO).
It's a silly bias based on the first couple of times I looked something up there finding incorrect information which I recognised as such off the bat.
