I hope one of your instructors never accepted the line that "Wikipedia is usually pretty close to the truth." It's getting better, but it's still no substitute for a good library.

I don't recommend trusting wikipedia articles themselves, but sometimes they can be quite useful for finding ACTUAL source documents... (check the links near the bottom of a decent wikipedia article) Wikipedia is usually pretty good about flagging things right at the top when source documents aren't sited.....
Indeed. Some Wiki articles have very decent sources. The theory was good, but the practice still leaves a lot to be desired.
