I knew I did the right thing not referencing Wikipedia.
I wonder how many students do though?
A LOT!
I dont refernce wikipedia directly, but I will read through the section on whatever work im doing, and look into the citations etc on wikipedia, looking at the more reliable work that is mentioned on the wiki.
Its usefull, just not the answer to an overworked students prayers.
