Why should you not cite Wikipedia?
“Allowing anyone to edit Wikipedia means that it is more easily vandalized or susceptible to unchecked information.”
“Wikipedia is written largely by amateurs. Those with expert credentials are given no additional weight.”
“Articles and subject areas sometimes suffer from significant omissions.”
“While articles may be altered by anyone, in practice editing will be performed by a certain demographic (younger rather than older, male rather than female, rich enough to afford a computer rather than poor) and may, therefore, show some bias.”
