No disagreement there! If I find a topic interesting enough, I'll start with Wikipedia and then usually buy or borrow some books on the topic for detailed study. On more than one occasion, I've then returned to Wikipedia to update it with information from those books. But yeah, definitely it shouldn't be the sole source people use.
