Problem is people think Wikipedia the the De facto answer to all things just like they say "Google it" for doing internet searches.
Every socialist on my husband’s side of the family thinks it is a definitive source. I’ve even tutored on Facebook how to see all of the edits and look at the accepted sources vs those that were edited out. Nope.
Back in early 2000s, wikipedia was considered not a legitimate source for school and uni papers. Is it considered one now? I'd bet so
Yeah, it's acceptable as a source. It can't be your only source if you write a paper - they make you cite an arbitrary minimum # of sources. The funny thing is, anything "unreliable" (read: independent outlets, research) cannot be used. It has to be a reputable (propaganda) Source.
I used to just plug in random sources and write whatever I wanted. Just get it close to making sense and it usually worked, lol. I know that teachers didn't care about what you wrote half the time, just that you didn't plagiarize
I remember my elementary school teachers not allowing us to use wikipedia, because “anyone can edit it” its not actual sources. But i also remember my high school teachers saying that if its not on wikipedia, its not true…
How quickly opinions change about "legitimate sources" huh? Lol.
