I cited multiple Wikipedia pages for my engineering expository essay about earthquakes (college). The reader wrote on my paper that Wikipedia is not scientific .

That about sums it up.

Wikipedia is a great source of information, and if you actually look at the amount of time it takes for something to get fixed its amazing.

rd was doing an article on the way school kids (any level, thou most hs & up), cheat by using ie resources, cut and paste plagerism, etc. it discusses about how they arent in school to learn but to cheat their way to the top. i have to wonder what type of teachers allow this to occur in the first place. Scary when dealing with very techy & bio relate industries just to name a few.

Cite the citations that the particular Wikipedia page uses
