Wikipedia is as accurate as the Encyclopedia Brittanica. 


If that were true then why do professors never let you cite Wikipedia as a source? It is a good source but can be very inaccurate depending on the article.

It is true. Professors just don't like it because it's a conglomeration of sources instead of being a primary or secondary source on it's own. But you know what you can do? Use the sources wiki uses. Professors will even tell you that

Fail on the source. Wiki source is on attackonthefanboy, wich source is insiderp. 120% hoax

Definitely not always reliable. Always check sources. And sources' sources.
