I agree, that's the best thing about Wikipedia. It really lets you learn; it's a knowledge center. If I want to know something, it's the first place I go. And I usually use it as a start for important papers also. It's the most concise (usually) way of getting the gist of a topic. After that, I find a few more traditional sources that back up what I've learned.
