This is a quote from someone else discussing one of the problems with using Wikipedia as a source for your references and Cited works:
"I use Wikipedia quite a bit, but never as a primary source, and never to research issues or persons of a controversial nature. What about you - is Wikipedia a valuable resource or a waste of bandwidth?" This quote is from one of the editors of Futurismic.com and if you are interested you can look there for the complete article.
I will usually accept Wikipedia reference but I will also sometimes question them. Good luck with your re-write. See you next week. Clark
