is wikipedia more reliable now?
not trying to be a smart ass or anything, but i remember a few years ago in like 10th grade we werent allowed to use it.
Most schools require cited sources to be "scholarly publications" - which Wikipedia is not.
Wikipedia wasn't around when I was in high school, but it was an unexceptable source for any college paper I ever had to do.
I found that any time someone argued that they wanted to use it as a source, this was one of the same people asking "how long does it have to be?" and "what should the margins be set at?" lol.
