There're a lot of circular referencing over there, i.e. wikipedia referencing a source, and the source referencing wikipedia. You'll never know where that piece of information really came from and if it's factual.
Despite its problems, I used to have respect for Wikipedia. Far as I'm concerned, it can be no more or less inaccurate, incorrect or biased than any other academic encyclopedia. I thought it was a decent service, as good as it could be, not to mention exactly what the internet was envisioned for...
... then it got taken over by commies like everything else.
Yeah it's like, "Ok I can either use my college journal database to search for medical journals on my topic, which the search engine treats keywords more like a suggestion, or just wiki it and then use the sources assuming they are legit from the wiki page."
Fact checkers are such a hard laughing joke. Fact check
This claim is disputed by independent fact-checkers.

Right this circular stuff of results all cycling back to wikipedia was a yuge issue in google for a while. Or I was the only one annoyed by that.
