Wikipedia: Stop citing our site
Source: Media Blog (News.com)
__________
Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales, has asked that college students refrain from citing Wikipedia as a source of academic research.

Yes, some actually are...and then complaining to him when teachers give them failing grades for doing it.

While speaking at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, Wales said that he receives about 10 e-mails a week from complaining college students. While Wales thinks Wikipedia is useful for many things, he said that he would like to make it known that he does not recommend it to college students for serious research.

yea, but that's not going to be used for grading in a research paper. wikipedia is nice for tid-bits of info here and there. not for actual research.

I don't see what's wrong with using it as one source of many. I wouldn't use it as the only and surely not the main source.

The debates forum is not, and is not meant to be a setting for serious research, it's there for debates.

No encyclopedias are used for research papers, and primary sources are ideal.
