I definitely agree with this - I'm a grad student in the physical sciences, and perhaps 9 times out of 10, when I need a brief introduction to a new topic, Wikipedia is the place to go.
No, the articles don't go into great depth... but they do get the essentials, which are often hard to parse out from the detailed info in textbooks, so the Wikipedia articles are a great place to start and get a feel for the topic!
