I know that the majority of university lecturers will refuse to accept papers that cite Wikipedia as a reference.
Wikipedia, whilst being a fantastic resource, is too prone to vandalism, user opinion etc.

DEFINATELY!!!!! I have found soo many resourceful answers on that website. Plus, all of their answers don't seem to have any sway to them as far as what's right and what's wrong, everything on there seems to be open and truthful. It's like a kind of "find anything and everything" website.
