Personally, I like Wikipedia, for its "direct" and "succinct" information, BUT every single time I read an article, I have to remember to NOT fall in the Dunning-Kruger effect, reference has some irony, as it is IMHO not at all hypothetical:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning–Kruger_effect
or, alternatively, that I am not instead suffering of the (fictional) Gell-Mann amnesia effect:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#GellMannAmnesiaEffect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Crichton#GellMannAmnes...
so I do check the Wikipedia page for something I already know about, find the outdated (or plainly wrong, or both) info in order to not fall in it.
