Many teachers discourage students from using Wikipedia as a source. The author Rob Weir assigned a 750-page exercise titled “Does Wikipedia Suck?” Students picked a topic, did research and then consulted Wikipedia. None found any inaccuracies. Most commented that the information they found was clear and well organized. They did, however, find the information to be general, not specific and that it was only a good starting place.
One of the replies pointed to this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia in Wikipedia itself!
