I help do research for a college student. Wiki is a good place for a rounded off picture of the subject at hand and produces some good search terms. One doesn't need to cite Wiki as the source if one can click through their sources. Internet articles come in all forms, some being actual excerpts from a larger body.

I almost always compare facts and dates from Wiki to the textbook and other sources.

Anyone who says a school should not be attended because they allow Wiki to be used is in a narrow world. It's not a crutch if used well.

But, to those that do think Wiki is bunk, you should not read PPOT for opinion. Wiki is a consensus, just as is PPOT.
