Is Wikipedia a Good source?

Is Wikipedia a good source? Well, you tell me, anyone with a Wikipedia account can edit articles So, someone with a PHD or someone in kindergarten could change a page easily. Wikipedia is a good source for finding links for other webpages that the author used on the topic but writing your whole research paper from Wikipedia is not a good idea. Wikipedia may have editors to keep the website's information somewhat true, but there are so many articles on Wikipedia that no one could keep all of them perfect. If Wikipedia had more editors or more time, it might be a better resource for something more than just links. Wikipedia has so much potential for the future but for now I wouldn't trust it. That is why Wikipedia is not a good source for research.
