Is making derivative work from Wikipedia - a free encyclopedia using information which has no citation and no reference violate copy rights?

You can check the WIKIPEDIA homepage but I do not believe so. However - just as a side comment - in my experience most professors/teachers will not allow WIkipedia 'cites' due to the fact that the information cannot be reliably confirmed.
