I absolutely love Wikipedia. It has almost replaced a good chunk of my school books back when I was in high school and it is still very useful now that I’m in university. Wikipedia and similar things are a dream that comes true

    I love it because back 20+ years ago it was frowned upon in school because it wasn’t trustworthy, and teachers would fail you for citing it in assignments. Now I feel like it’s the most trusted source on the Internet.

      I still don’t think you should cite Wikipedia. Read the citations Wikipedia provides and cite those!

      I would use wikipedia as a really nice source of sources. I actually convinced a middle school teacher of this, and she changed her spiel on Wikipedia accordingly.
