Is wickipedia a crutch that prevents true research?

People cut and paste from this source as if it were the only source of information.

Considering how wickipedia is created, isn’t this a dangerous practice, as regards really understanding the various subject matters?

It’s only a crutch if you allow it to be. It’s fine for basic facts and figures; and it can be a good jumping-off point for truly learning about something. It’s certainly not a comprehensive site, however, by any definition I understand.

Yes and no. At its best, it’s a guide to further research, and also a source of information on topics that might be considered “beneath” Britannica or similar sources. But it should never be your first and last stop.

It can be. You should always check with another source as well I am told. It’s fine as long as you are aware that what it contains is other peoples opinions and knowledge which can be mistaken or not agreed with.
