True but when used at the forum at least provide a link to it so that the other users at the forum can view the actual information and footnotes and make their how decision on how worthy it is.It’s really a case-by-case situation. I would never use Wikipedia as a source for a paper. However, if proper footnotes are provided, and those footnotes lead to valid sources, I see no reason why it cannot be used for an online forum. Nevertheless, each article must be carefully examined for proper citation and valid sources.
Personally if I would not use it in a paper (which I will not) then I will not use it here either.
