∙ 13y agoAny wiki -- editable by anyone with access -- site is as good as its contributors. Wikipedia, generally, offers comprehensive and well-monitored answers.
However, vandals are everywhere. And since Wikipedia is open and available to all contributors, vandals believe that they can post/ destroy/ pollute/ vandalize the Web site. They can. They do. And Wikipedia's vandals' contributions are often soon overwhelmed by good, clean answers.
Any internet source should always be double-checked with another, non-Internet source, especially if you plan to rely on the answer.

Why can't Wikipedia be used as a credible source in academic writing?
Wikipedia is considered a reliable source because each article must undergo a rigorous review process, with many professional reviewers involved. Is the ideal place to start your research and get a global picture of a topic. Is always good check the facts we find in Wikipedia against other sources but Wikipedia is as accurate or more accurate than more traditional encyclopedias.
If Wikipedia is considered a good source why do schools ban it?
Wikipedia is generally not considered a good source by schools. The reason for this is that anyone can edit it; you have no idea of the credentials of the person creating the content. Although someone posting on the article on parthenogenesis or the Balfour Declaration could be a professor who has written several books on the subject, they could also be a 8 year old who has no real idea. Since the author of the content cannot be checked for their authority, most schools prefer that you do not cite Wikipedia as a source. Even though any facts on Wikipedia must themselves be cited, there can still be issues with this process. Citations can be incorrect or missing, meaning that the information they support may or may not be accurate; you have no way of finding out. Also, Wikipedia is not considered an academic source and is not peer reviewed. This means that, in addition to being unable to determine the authenticity of the source, the content has not undergone a strict process of evaluation by experts in the field. It is therefore not considered an appropriate source for an academic paper or project. That being said, many professors will recommend Wikipedia as a place to start research. It can be a good place to get general ideas for papers, speeches, and projects. The vast majority of information on Wikipedia is correct, but, since it cannot be taken for granted that it is authentic, once you begin to do more in depth research you should switch to better, more academic sources.
