I just checked out the "did you know's"..wow. I like Wiki, myself. If I was writing a paper, I'd check other sources. But for overview and info, Wiki is fine.

MIDDLEBURY, Vt. --
Middlebury College history students are no longer allowed to use Wikipedia in preparing class papers. </DIV><BR /><DIV>The school's history department recently adopted a policy that says it's OK to consult the popular online encyclopedia, but that it can't be cited as an authoritative source by students. </DIV><BR /><DIV>

The policy says, in part, "Wikipedia is not an acceptable citation, even though it may lead one to a citable source." </DIV><BR />History professor Neil Waters says Wikipedia is an ideal place to start research but an unacceptable way to end it.
