Wikipedia is, surprisingly, quite a fine reference. I say this because the amount of power and influence a person has is directly correlated (in fact, exponential in this variable) to the defectiveness of his personality. The "administrators" are mostly mentally-ill shut-ins playing Internet Tough Guy, and edit-warring with them, even when objectively right, is a lost cause (you'll run into the "3-revert rule", which basically means that if you don't allow groupthink to bulldoze you, you get blocked or banned). Still, it's a great reference 99% of the time, and I'm amazed that this can be the case, given the putrid nature of the WP community.
