Bottom line: I don't think anyone should use the Wikipedia as their only source. I hate to think anyone would use it as research without bothering to back up their work with other sources, but when I worked as a substitute teacher, we had numerous kids who printed pages from the Wikipedia and turned them in as book reports. They're probably still in school to this day.
