Now while I was in University there was something interesting I heard from my buddy while we was talking about Wikipedia, Wikipedia is about as inaccurate as the Oxford Encyclopedia, that said professors don't want students using encyclopedias for papers cause they'd rather you grab the original documents and analyze them yourself. So even if you can write an 8 page paper using only Wikipedia, and even if what you wrote is as accurate and as right as if you went to source material or academic material, you'll get dogged just cause you didn't use academic sources. I personally think it's lame. But most papers need atleast 3 sources so you'd be dogged regardless, but I still feel Wikipedia should be allowed as a source.
