In general, I trust people. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they'll make the right decision. From time to time, however, I have problems relying on people. Wikipedia is a good example of when to not always take somebody's word.

I'll use this site for personal reasons, usually if there's a technological term that I'm not sure about. From my experience, techies would rather brag about how much information they know than mislead people by giving out a bunch of B.S. The problem is, sometimes they give out information that they think that know, which might not be right.
So, I'll get a general idea from wikipedia, and from there I'll know where to start when I go to a more reputable website. This way, I can be sure I'm linking to something that's more dependable. I like to do more than just wikipedia research on whatever I'm talking about anyway. The point to linking to something is finding stuff that others may not have been aware of or able to find. Anybody can just google something or look it up on wikipedia.
The only way I'd link to wikipedia is if I've read the description about what I'm linking to, know quite a bit about the topic and confirm that it's accurate. I also realize that information could change at any time. Wikipedia has a big enough following now, that anybody directed to that site should know to take any info they get from there with a grain of salt. As a journalist, I question just about everything I see from any source, and I encourage everybody else to do the same.
