It's fine for some things, but those are mostly limited to stuff like some actor's filmography or a book author's bibliography - although in the latter case they don't seem to mention mostly only what that author has gotten published through trad publishing, not as an indie, so unreliable there too.
And if you want to know what the plot of some film is, like something you saw long enough a time ago that you no longer remember all that much and want to check if you remember something right, wikipedia seems to be one of the few places where they usually give a fairly detailed explanation for that, at least if the movie is better known. :D
Well, and sometimes it can be useful as a starting point when you are researching something you know pretty much nothing about. It may not be reliable, but you can find at least some things you can use when looking for other sources, words and sentences to use on search engine searches.
