People say that Wikipedia is an unreliable source because anyone can change what it says, however, if moderators catch someone making a stupid edit, they will return the text to it's original so Wikipedia is a reliable source.

Some people - including the editors of Wikipedia itself - consider it somewhat unreliable because it derives from other sources of information. For serious investigations, you should go to the primary sources of information.Wikipedia is, however, a great way to get introductory information about some topic, for instance, about scientific topics.

What type of source is wikipedia?

Wikipedia is a tertiary source (which is a document that exists to serve as an index of primary sources). According to Wikipedia, "As tertiary sources, encyclopedias and textbooks attempt to summarize and consolidate the source materials into an overview, but may also present subjective commentary and analysis (which are characteristics of a secondary source)."
