So what? Now it's merely public information that you're a moron if you trust Wikipedia.

Even though it has less errors than Encyclopedia Britanica.

Though, using as the main resource, bad idea. Using it to get general ideas, find sources, etc, it's great for.
Mostly, look for cited sources. Check what those say.

This is quite true. Many wikipedia articles have excellent, reputable sources.

What's totally awesome about wikipedia is that anyone can go in and spread false information. Of course, anyone can also go and correct it.
