Wikipedia is a great resource but the thing to keep in mind is all the headings are done by submission. It would seem they have high standards (their Halo 2 heading doesn't consist of "it sucks"), but in the end they are submission based, so as with any info source, be skeptical.
In other words, a rather high light they cast on it. No details on what this "tech" involves (gotta love those nice sounding words they use to sound legit), and it's all basically put as though the accusations are all false because it's from "outsiders". No mention that a number of the "outsiders" providing the info are people that have actually been in the cult for a number of years and eventually "woke up".
But, it's okay. As good a source as Wiki can be, it's not perfect, and so long as that's understood there's no problems.
Though, it does pay to submit addendums or corrections when needed there.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
