Using Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a good source to find information on anything. I would cite/use Wikipedia for a paper as a source. In fact, I have used it on a paper and my professor had no problems with it. Most of the time though, I would spend extra time double checking to make sure that the information on Wikipedia is accurate. For example, I am not going to use anything that sounds ridiculous, but my experience with Wikipedia has been that their information is accurate and also very helpful.
