Wikipedia is certainly not the most reliable source in the world, but
personally, I've found Wikipedia to be substantially more reliable than
any other information source that is comparably easy to access.
However, since that Wikipedia article (like most such articles) cites
sources for it's numbers, the reliability of Wikipedia is irrelevant;
what matters is the reliability of those sources. Have you anything
useful to say about that?
It's only worthwhile pointing out the unreliability of wikipedia if you
can identify a more reliable source.
