Internet Reference Sources on Philosophy:

Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy [electronic resource] / edited by Edward N. Zalta.  [Palo Alto, Calif.] : Center for the Study of Language and Information, c1996. [http://plato.stanford.edu]

This is a massive volunteer effort and is unfinished—you will find that lots of topics are not yet complete.  On the other hand, this is an edited “peer-reviewed” source that should be reliable.  Maintained by the Metaphysics Research Lab and the Center for the Study of Language and Information at Stanford University.

The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy [electronic resource] / edited by James Fieser, Bradley Dowden.  [Martin, Tenn.] : University of Tennessee at Martin, c2001.  [http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/]

Another massive cooperative effort at providing useful and accurate information about philosophers and philosophical topics.
