I think Wikipedia is reliable to a degree. If you want to know base information such as key dates, events, and factual based things, Wikipedia is the go to. It's essentially useful for scenarios with multiple choice questions. What's the capital of England? London.

Using Wikipedia for research papers or for in depth arguments in debates is not good and I would recommend using the source sited range at the bottom.

"Is wikipedia a reliable source?" Sure, as long as it says what you want to here and confirms ones confirmation bias. It is no more or no less reliable than any other source. All sources without exception have been proven to mislead, show bias or outright lie and fabricate .
