I think it's evolved into a real source, but the quality of Wikipedia stories varies a great deal. It's wise to be wary. In doing research for the two magazines where I'm a staff writer, I look at the Wikipedia articles because they often bring up points that hadn't occurred to me and they're a trove of links to other sources, but I've never failed to find at least one factual error (at least, something *I* consider a factual error!) in every Wikipedia story I've read about a topic I've researched extensively.

Any time the subject is a person, the hagiographers on one side and the "Pfui!" crowd on the other trade rival editing back and forth. In the case of political or otherwise controversial stories, such as anything to do with media censorship in modern China, the so-called facts can change literally from day to day (in that case, with mainland Chinese editors on one side and Taiwanese on the other, as people from the U.S.A. and both Koreas jump in, too). Buyer beware.
