    Naturally, it's too neutral I guess.

    Wikipedia is an outstanding source of information. More fool you if you reject wiki while citing CNN.

    More that it's not peer-reviewed, but take it as you will.

    When do I cite CNN as a source of facts? I might link to a report they give that doesn't mean I use them to support an argument I'm making.

    You're basing this on what?

    I'm happy to consider the idea that taken in sum, the political leanings of Wiki's various contributors are unlikely to be heavily biased. But that's not the same as saying "person X who wrote page Y that I'm referring to here is neutral, and can't possibly have a political motive." You have no idea why person X wrote page Y, or if they were in any way qualified to do so, unless you yourself are expert on the topic.

    So, not only could they be clueless, they could very well not be neutral. That is why Wiki is generally regarded as unreliable.
