Weren't you criticizing someone for citing wikipedia in the other thread : )
In all seriousness, I've actually heard wikipedia is incredibly accurate for some subjects, like biology, as in its comparable to any textbook you can get on the subject. However, other issues, such as politics, are another story.
Edit: The Miller experiment was actually the one I was thinking of that had reproduced the buiding blocks of life in the laboratory.
