Just an inquiry here, but does anyone not use wikipedia for their first reference point for just about anything these days?

When I am looking up something it goes: Google, then wikipedia because it's usually the first hit. It's like an online cliffnotes for anything and everything.

I find myself asking people more often than doing the data research now. As in, people are becoming my preferable first reference point. Social bookmarking, forums, facebook, twitter. "Ask HN/NM"...
