To be fair, Wikepedia is at it's best when you want to know a quick, simple indesputable fact. Eg. What year was George Bush born. As soon as you move into the sphere of opinion, it is useless and always will be.

True. I find Wikipedia a useful starting point for research, but its content has to be taken with many grains of salt.

Antony- my guess is that one man's fact will often become another man's opinion in such a venue as Wikipedia... ;)
