I used a few articles from there, one on civil rights movement, one on the KKK. I always do MLA, but now I have to do APA. Please help.

I don't know about your school, but my instructors will not accept it at all. It's true, it's not a reliable source. Example: when the rumor was put out there that Sinbad was dead...Yahoo didn't have it on its website (reputable source) but wikipedia had it on theirs!

by the way just so you know, if you are using wikipedia for a research paper or something of that sort for school, then it probably wont be allowed since wikipedia is not a credible source and pretty much all colleges and high schools do not allow wikipedia to be used as a source for anything since the website can be edited and altered by anyone if you go on the site and click the "edit" button.
