I've been wondering for a while if accessing certain popular sites like Wikipedia (obviously Facebook or any other social media site is out of the question) on Tor is ever a bad idea. I know the browser bundle has an automatic response to any sort of downloading through the browser ("could unmask you, continue?" sort of thing) but other than that, anything I should worry about? Or am I just being silly?
Also, if anyone's got any Layman's resources for or tips they could spare (though I'm probably going to dig through the Sec threads again for anything that might help me 1-up on this department) it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

I would imagine that anywhere that you would log into would be a bad idea. Unless you have created the account you would be logging into over Tor

No no no I would never log into a clearnet account on Tor. Just curious if Wikipedia and the like could ever unmask.
Thanks!

The short answer is no. The longer answer is never say never -- which basically means I don't know of any way Wikipedia or the like could identify you nor am I aware of any warnings involving such, but I don't know of any way to prove there isn't any way either.
