Wikipedia

Wikipedia is not a reputable source for any academic papers. Yes it may contain the correct information but at the same time given that they allow anyone to write about a topic, you can not trust what is put on Wikipedia. Also, for that reason, many professors on campus explicitily forbid students from using Wikipedia as a source. I agree with professors on this fact. I will however acknowledge that I will look up things on Wikipedia, but if I am writing anything for academic use I will not cite Wikipedia.
