I tend to use Wikipedia relatively often.
It's more often reliable than not and good for looking up simple statisticts and facts like how big the population of the state of Vermont is etc. Adding citations to the facts given in the articles - especially when it comes to more complex issues - is imperative though.
The most annoying thing, when you happen to witness them, are the edit wars. For insance, I recently witnessed one on the page for "La République En Marche!". People argued over whether LREM is a centre, centre-right, or centre-left party and kept changing the article accordingly (by now it's settled and they returned to "centre" again).
Sometimes they also develop a habit to delve into obscure idiosyncraties, like the extensive article on the "Mitt Romney dog incident".
