Speaking as a retired teacher, who is now working as a chemist, and who is quite familiar with research reliability, some of what you state is correct, but Wikipedia is a good place to start research, but, like any research, followup research, as in other, additional sources, is always required.
And, Wikipedia might not be as unreliable as you may think: Reliability of Wikipedia: Information from Answers.com
