Wikipedia is gigantically useful for any sort of topic for which no controversy could possibly exist. For anything involving any sort of controversy no matter how slight, wiki is utterly worthless.

Acolytes whose writing conformed to Connolley’s global warming views, in contrast, were rewarded with Wikipedia's blessings. In these ways, Connolley turned Wikipedia into the missionary wing of the global warming movement. The Medieval Warm Period disappeared, as did criticism of the global warming orthodoxy.

This may explain a couple of very weird things I've seen when editing Wiki-pages (I've only done a few of those). In the edit window there is comment code that doesn't show up in the browser, and some of the comments I've seen have been really angry and stupid.
