      Yeah, all the time, don’t tell anyone though. It’s a good way to get started on learning about something new but I always check the source material before I put anything I’ve read on wikipedia into a paper!

      Yes, I will let you into a little secret pretty much every scientist uses wikipedia.

      Its actually pretty good as the information included in articles is labelled and tells you were you can find the actual evidence for the claims it makes, so I can read those and judge whether wikipedia is accurate.
