Only when I am fairly confident of an answer and want to confirm the reliability of what I am writing. Of course, Wiki isn't 100% reliable, but I'm usually just needing to confirm info. I try to not write on topics that I have no background at all in, especially educational. So, the times I actually do my research is basically just me trying to be helpful and reteach myself something I knew once upon a time :-)

oh, great idea!! i use wikipedia 10 times a day, at least, but, i still haven't used it here at AB - i've simply referred folks to it.

Occasionally, but I think doing so is lazy

Lately, I've only been using it as a "learned" (although not perfect) source of proof to questions that are receiving conflicting answers.

I use it as a back up to my answer, to make sure I give the correct information, it is a wealth of information, I love that site.

never, I only answer questions that I fell I can answer
