I have used wikipedia and have found it really useful. Usually there are links to more info at the end of the entry. I know some teachers don't let the students use it, or at least only as a supplemental source.
I find the idea of radical trust intriguing, it sort of goes against what librarians have been taught, but it makes a lot of sense with the analogy that Darlene Fichter uses. I guess it's wikipedia is great for getting some information fast (it's usually among the first few entries on google), but it's probably not the best idea to to base your master's thesis exclusively on information from it.
