I think asking if students should use Wilipedia is the wrong question. Rather, ask
should students be able to evaluate sources and cite them properly. As has been
pointed out Wikipedia is ten times as comprehensive as Britannica. In addition,
clearly those who add entries have some knowledge and it is reviewed by many.
