A problem I have with wikipedia is that their 'concept' articles (cognitive psychology, quantum mechanics, Hinduism philosophy, whatever) are not well written and can make the subject more complicated and convoluted than necessary. The articles should be introductory, but they sometimes needlessly throw in everything but the kitchen sink. There are someties far better, and more concise, articles on the web. That may be due to a wikipedia article being written by multiple authors.
That was my aside commentary.

I do use Wikipedia. However I mostly use Wikipedia in order to scroll down to the bottom to the works cited. I like to go there and find the source of information. I agree with your opinion of the almost rambling state of some of the articles on Wikipedia
