I agree.
Earlier this year, I was asked to be a judge for a History fair at a middle school in Minneapolis.
A lot of kids used the Internet ONLY for their research. I asked these kids if they used other sources (books, magazines, etc) and more often that not they said "No, I used Wikipedia only". I usually knocked them down a few points if they didn't have a diversity of sources.
Wikipedia can be a decent source - depending on the subject. But too many kids were taking what I believed was the easy way out.
YES SIR.
Wikipedia is great for science. It's terrible for anything that allows opinion. It may serve as a starting point, but that's about it.
Back when I was in school the New York Times was considered a valid source for citation. Never mind the bias inherent in the articles.
