And all my professors have stated that you can't use Wikipedia as a source. At all. It might give you an idea of where to look for info, but it cannot be relied on, should not be quoted, and is ineligible as a reference.
My best friend had an assignment in an asian studies class to critique a wikipedia article. Everything from failure to provide sources to inaccuracies was cited.
She was surprised when, in the article she chose and researched, there were quite a few direct quotes used without references.
