I think it is fine for general knowledge, but I would never trust it for anything technical or controversial.

Same here.

And you can't cite it in college papers, either. Retarded people in my classes do that all the time and I scoff at them.

Sometimes. As with any reference, it is valuable to check out the source materials.

even textbooks need to be taken with a grain of salt. Try googling 'textbook error', or 'errors in textbooks'.

most of the time, but i would go to a liable website though...

lol i did this question twice already
