1. Anybody can change the content.
2.Most professional establishments don't recognize Wikipedia as a viable resource because of the old reputation of many people changing the information senselessly.
However, if you just want to look up some simple facts for your own knowledge and you don't want to use it in a debate or academic setting then it is a very useful website.
