contrary what everyone says wikipedia cannot be edited by anyone. go ahead and go to the page of hitler, you won't be able to edit it at all. some information can be wrong, or not as accurate on wikipedia because the vast amount of information is editable by anyone also its ever changing. if you go there now and you go back in 6 months other sources can be used so thats why its not 100%

Not usually. They have sources at the bottom of the page. Use them and sort out what you find reputable and what you don't.
Not necessarily. I've actually found Wikipedia pretty helpful in my essays for university, in terms of finding good references :P Wikipedia can be edited by anyone so there isn't always credible information there and you have to weed through it but it's not always bad. Sometimes it's better than a textbook from back in the 50s or whatever.
Depends. Not always. Wikipedia can just be edited by anyone, so anyone (credible or not) can input information. I'd say generally don't trust the information if it doesn't have a source, and if it does have a source, check it yourself
I find it to be extremely useful and beneficial - in 20 years - I have only once read a wikipedia artlcle that I didn't agree with but they didn't lie about the facts - they just interpreted them in a very offensive way.
