Wikipedia has never, ever been a reliable source for information. I remember when it came out and they told us we get an automatic F in school if we cited it as a source.
One of the greatest lies ever told to students about Wikipedia is that it can be used as a source for sources... rather than citing Wikipedia, the student could use Wikipedia to find sources that would be acceptable. Problem there is, when the source selection for a Wikipedia article is itself biased, then Wikipedia and its sources really are a distinction without a difference.
