New sigh (for both anti-WP responses)
Yes, I understand that WP is far from authoritative.

But the baseline description of what homeopathy is, ie: massive diluation of ingredients is pretty well documented, no matter where you are reading it.

WP is a pretty good jumping point to get the "accepted" baseline understanding on most subjects, leaving it up to the ready to go further if the subject really interests them. I've read enough about this one over the years to not feel the need to bother.

New As a jumping off point for non-controversial subjects . . .
. . I use Wikipedia early and often, but always with the caution, "verify and verify again" - and always verify with sites that are not getting their info from Wikipedia.

Aside from deliberate slant there is a lot of sloppiness. For instance, if you believe Wikipedia and/or the many "free" sites that simply copy their stuff, yellow peas (the majority of peas grown in Canada) are actually a neurotoxic vetch.
