I never shat on Wikipedia. The closest thing to it was probably those sets of encyclopedias that seem to be so ubiquitous in middle class, split-level America. And I have little doubt that Wikipedia and its army of contributors outperformed those.

It happened a lot in acedemia. And there was good reason there too. Wikipedia is horrible for developing stories, for example.

The real key for rigorous use was to look at what was cited, not quote directly from wikipedia.
