While I mostly see wiki as a reliable and great source, I have also seen some "data wars" in regard to certain topics-- Where certain people (for
reasons of their own agenda, whatever that may be) decide to edit wiki entries to include new, or remove old information that they either don't agree
with, or don't want people to see.
For articles that remain in place, of course, you can see the history of this on the "edits" and "history" pages.
For articles that are wholly deleted?
Also, great points about the wayback machine. I've encountered this problem a lot of times, and had grown rather suspicious, myself.
