Wikipedia can be a worthwhile place to look for very general descriptions to give yourself an introduction to new ideas. much like you're already using it. However, in areas where I have actual expertise, I've noticed that it gets the technical details wrong consistently. Often 50% of the time or more on complex subjects. My guess from looking at quite a few articles is that much of the text is from repurposed mediocre to bad essays by college students, or at least written at about the same level.
