There's a really good one that I want to insert here, but I can't because it would involve this post getting edited and me getting banned. Let's just say that it involves a swear word. (I didn't edit my post for this.)

A lot of my research comes from Wikipedia. It may not always be accurate but it generally is. However, when it comes to serious research papers and assignments, I don't list it in my bibliography, although I probably did use it ^^;

Wikipedia is fairly accurate...
and just to make sure you could always check their sources and the discussions on the topic.
